The Obama administration also did not interfere in an independent investigation by the U.S. Department of justice, he said.
On Saturday, trump, entered the office of US President on January 20, wrote in his microblog on Twitter, that he became aware that “President Obama listened to my talk” a month before the election held on 8 November.
While trump has compared this situation with the famous Watergate scandal of 1972, which resulted in the resignation of US President Richard Nixon.
