President Donald Trump’s senior aide Kellyanne Conway has been mocked for suggesting that former President Barack Obama monitored President Donald Trump through a microwave.
In an interview with USA Today, Ms Conway suggested the surveillance may have involved far more than wiretapping. “What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other. You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of different ways.”
She claimed surveillance could be conducted with “microwaves that turn into cameras,” adding “We know this is a fact of modern life.”
Social media users mocked Ms Conway's claim with many saying they would be sure to check their hair and make-up before warming up their food from now on, the Telegraph reported.
Ms Conway reiterated the request by the White House that the allegations of wiretapping be wrapped into a Congressional investigation into whether Russian intelligence operatives tried to influence the outcome of last November’s election, USA Today reported.
During the interview, she claimed Democrats who called for a deeper investigation of the alleged Russian links were trying to undermine the Trump presidency. “The investigation is about a bunch of people who can’t believe that Hillary Clinton lost the election,” she said.
