Former President Bill Clinton trolled President Trump on Sunday, joking that the Clinton Presidential Center “has been bugged.”
“BREAKING: We just learned that the @ClintonCenter has been bugged,” Clinton tweeted with a photo of himself standing next to a statue of a grasshopper.

The tweet is likely a response to Trump accusing former President Obama of wiretapping his campaign headquarters at Trump Tower in Manhattan last October.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said in March that Trump and his campaign associates may have been swept up in legal surveillance. Nunes accused Obama officials of unmasking their identities, but said the information he had viewed didn’t back up Trump’s claim that Obama ordered a wiretap.
Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice was accused of leaking their identities to the press, though she has denied do so. Rice said she had asked for the identities of possible Trump associates swept up in surveillance, citing national security reasons.
Trump jumped on the reports about Rice to justify his tweets accusing Obama of ordering his headquarters to be wiretapped.
