Former US President Barack Obama was satisfied on Thursday with inviting the Americans to vote, in response to US President Donald Trump, who has been talking for days on "Obamagate", that is, a scandal bearing the name of the former President of the United States without mentioning any details about it.
"Vote," Obama said, "six months before the presidential election and as the Republican president redoubled his attacks on his Democratic predecessor, he repeated a formula reminiscent of the" Watergate "scandal that prompted former President Richard Nixon to resign.
The conspiracy theory circulated on the websites of hard-line conservatives initially hints that the Democratic president in the last years of his term has used the judiciary to damage Trump at any cost.
Trump evaded answering a question in a press conference a few days ago about this mysterious crime committed by the former president, saying, "You know what the crime is. This crime is clear to everyone. ”
Trump moved to a new stage Thursday by asking Congress to investigate, without clarifying the facts he is taking on Obama.
"If I were a senator or a deputy, he would be the first person I summoned to testify about the biggest scandal in US history, ex-President Obama," he wrote in a tweet. He knew everything. ”
Trump called on Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close associate, to take action.
But many parliamentarians in his camp do not agree with him. "I do not think it is appropriate for me to do this," Graham, chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee, said.
