THE QUICK FACTS

• On Friday, Barack Obama expressed concern over the justice department’s decision to drop charges against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

• Over the weekend, Trump responded with a series of tweets regarding Obama, saying in one: “Barack Hussain Obama is the first Ex-President to ever speak against his successor, which was long tradition of decorum and decency… He got caught, OBAMAGATE!”
• Trump also retweeted Buck Sexton, a podcaster who asserted that Obama “used his last weeks in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the new administration,” adding “The biggest political crime in American history, by far!”
• In other remarks, Trump claimed that Flynn had been targeted by the Obama administration in an attempt to take down Trump himself.
