0:00.0	From The New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro. This is The Daily.
0:08.4	Today, Obama and Trump, two newly revealed stories about the transition of power from one president
0:16.8	to the next. One is a warning. What Barack Obama told Donald Trump could be the biggest threat
0:23.9	he'd inherit as president. The other is an accusation. President Trump is claiming, without evidence,
0:30.6	that Obama wiretapped his communications during the campaign. It's Monday, March 6.
0:39.1	Where do the orders come from to intercept these phone calls? To record these phone calls?
0:45.6	How many more phone calls involving Michael Flynn and other would be administration officials?
0:53.5	Were intercepted and recorded? Were the president of the United States, the now president of the United

1:49.7	category as that. That was on Thursday night, March 2. On Friday morning,
1:57.6	Breitbart News published a story. Obama's actions, Breitbart said, rather than conspiracy theories
2:03.6	about alleged Russian interference in the presidential election, should be the target of congressional
2:09.2	investigation. The Breitbart story specifically referenced Mark Levin's radio show. The day after
2:15.2	that, Saturday morning, at 6.36 a.m. Donald Trump sent out a tweet from Mar-Lago. Terrible,
2:21.7	he wrote, just found out that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the victory.
