Obama press secretary: The bigger the scandal, the more outrageous the Trump tweet

"There is one page in the Trump White House crisis management playbook,” Earnest told ABC’s “This Week.” “And that is simply to tweet or say something outrageous to distract from a scandal. And the bigger the scandal, the more outrageous the tweet.”

....................

Obama, through a spokesman, denied that he or the White House ordered surveillance.


"A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice," spokesman Kevin Lewis said in a statement.

"As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen," Lewis added. "Any suggestion otherwise is simply false."
