Kellyanne Conway Suggests Obama Might Have Used A Microwave To Spy on Trump

In a Sunday interview with USA Today, senior White House aide Kellyanne Conway suggested former President Barack Obama could have used a common household appliance to spy on his now-successor during the campaign.

"What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other,” Conway said. "You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of ways."

Conway said one could even conduct surveillance using "microwaves that turn into cameras."

"We know this is a fact of modern life," she added, without offering any proof. 

Conway later said she was speaking generally about surveillance techniques and not specifically about Obama, according to CNN.

"I'm not Inspector Gadget," Conway told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "I don't believe people are using the microwave to spy on the Trump campaign. However, I'm not in the job of having evidence; that's what investigations are for."

On March 4, Trump went on an early-morning Twitter rant accusing Obama of tapping Trump Tower's phones "during the very sacred election process."

Trump called the alleged wiretapping plot a scandal of "Nixon/Watergate" proportions and "A NEW LOW!" for Obama, who's denied the baseless accusations.

Neither Trump or the White House have provided evidence of the wiretapping, though Press Secretary Sean Spicer has since explained that Trump merely meant surveillance, not specifically wiretapping, when posted the tweets about wiretapping.

The House Intelligence Committee requested that the Justice Department turn over some proof of the surveillance by Monday — but as of Monday afternoon, no dice.

"The President has one of two choices: either retract or provide the information that the American people deserve," Sen. John McCain told Jake Tapper of CNN this weekend. 

"I have no reason to believe that the charge is true, but I also believe that the President of the United States could clear this up in a minute," McCain added.
