Trump lied to TIME magazine about wiretapping

Donald Trump gave an interview to TIME magazine and lied about getting basing his lie about Barack Obama wiretapping him from The New York Times. In response, the NYT responded with an article debunking Trump's lies.

These the lies Trump told TIME magazine:

That the New York Times altered a headline claiming Obama wiretapped Trump aides.

What the NYT said:

False. Mr. Trump was referring to an article published online on Jan. 19 and in print on Jan. 20 that disclosed that American law enforcement and intelligence agencies were examining intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation into possible links between Russian officials and associates of Mr. Trump.

There were in fact two different headlines on the online and print versions of the article, which is typical. At no point was either headline altered.

That the NYT article was proof that Trump was right in saying he was wiretapped.

What the NYT said:

This is misleading. Neither the print nor online version of the article supports Mr. Trump’s accusation that Mr. Obama ordered surveillance on him.

That he used the word "wiretapping" as a broad definition of surevillance, a claim that has been debunked several times.

What the NYT said:

This is misleading. Mr. Trump did put the word in quotes in two of his tweets, but explicitly accused Mr. Obama of wiretapping his phones.

And the NYT adds:

Again, there is no evidence that Mr. Obama ordered surveillance of Mr. Trump’s phones, nor can a president legally request wiretapping of an American.

At this point it is really ridiculous that Trump insists on his lie. And whenever he gets confrented with the facts, he blames it on somebody else. First on Fox News. Now on the New York Times. But BOTH media outlets have denied Trump's claim.
