Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia have been dubbed “Stupid Watergate” by comedian John Oliver, who described the links as “a potential scandal with all of the intrigue of Watergate except everyone involved is really bad at everything.”
The claims were presented as fact by President Trump, who wrote: “Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory.
The comedian also tackled a flurry of tweets from President Trump, which saw him accuse his predecessor Barack Obama of wiretapping his offices during the 2016 election.
Oliver described the Attorney General’s now-discredited claim that he “did not have communications with the Russians” as “an unforced error,” made in response to a separate question.
