Pelosi rips Trump tweets: 'Deflector-in-Chief is at it again'
Source: The Hill
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed an early-morning tweetstorm by President Trump on Saturday, accusing the president of trying to deflect attention away from a series of stories about his team's links to Russia.
The Deflector-in-Chief is at it again. An investigation by an independent commission is the only answer, Pelosi wrote on Twitter.

The tweet was an apparent response to Trumps earlier rant, in which he accused former President Obama of wire tapping his phones during his 2016 presidential bid, comparing it McCarthyism and President Richard Nixons Watergate scandal.

Trump did not cite or provide any proof that Obama ordered the then-presidential candidates conversations to be monitored. He may have been referencing a Breitbart News story published Friday alleging that the Obama administration used police state tactics to keep tabs on Trumps campaign.
