LONDON — A former British legislator, Louise Mensch, is at the heart of the Trump administration’s explosive allegation that President Barack Obama was spying on him during the 2016 campaign.
Mensch's article, published on the right-leaning, libertarian website Heat Street, did not create much of a stir at the time. But it has come under the spotlight after Trump, in a tweet-storm over the weekend, accused Obama of wiretapping his offices during the election campaign. Trump compared the alleged bugging to the Watergate scandal, but he has not offered any evidence to back up his claims.
In tweets on Monday, Mensch emphasized that her reporting does not back up Trump’s wiretapping claim, even though the White House cited her article to justify the allegation.
Over the weekend, the White House cited reports “from BBC, Heat Street, New York Times, Fox News, among others” to justify the claims. Former Obama administration officials and aides have denied the accusation.
After combing through these news reports, The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler concluded that the piece by Mensch in Heat Street was “the most important” of the lot.
This former British lawmaker is at the heart of the Trump wiretap allegations
Bear in mind that for the Trumpster these two Brits are:
Louise Mensch= Very Credible
Christopher Steele= Fake news
