During a Fox and Friends interview aired Tuesday President Trump claimed Barack Obama is behind the White House leaks

(WASHINGTON, DC) President Trump said he believes Barack Obama is behind the leaks coming out of the White House.

The president also said he thinks his predecessor has played a role in organizing the angry protests at Republican town halls across the country during an interview on “Fox and Friends” Tuesday.

“I think he is behind it,” Trump said. “I also think it’s politics. That’s the way it is. You never know what’s exactly happening behind the scenes.

“I think that President Obama’s behind it, because his people are certainly behind it.And some of the leaks possibly come from that group, you know, some of the leaks – which are really very serious leaks, because they’re very bad in terms of national security. But I also understand that’s politics. In terms of him being behind things, that’s politics and it will probably continue.”

“I don’t want to use the word disappoint. I’m not really surprised because I understand the way the world works. It’s politics.”

TRUNEWS has previously reported that Barack Obama has taken a series of steps to be both active in the anti-Trump movement and stay present in beltway politics. Because of these moves, our host Rick Wiles has nicknamed the former commander-in-chief the “President-in-Exile”.
