The FBI wiretapped former President Donald Trump during his time in office, according to a false statement made on Saturday.
The thing that Trump revealed more than any policy achievement is that we are living in an incredibly corrupt country.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, our FBI, would have gotten an illegal wiretap on a US president, and who would have believed it? Who would have believed that?

It's not clear what he was referring to, but he could have been talking about the wiretapping of Carter Page or Paul Manafort.
The applications submitted by the FBI to begin surveilling Page contained errors and omissions, which has been criticized in the past.
There is no evidence that the FBI wiretapped Trump, although false and disproven reports from 2020 claim that the FBI admitted to and apologized for it.
The 2016 claim that former President Barack Obama worked with the FBI to wiretap Trump's phone may have been referred to by Vance. The conspiracy was popularized after Trump complained about it.
The Department of Justice denied the allegations.
The representative did not respond to the request for comment.
