It wouldn't be the first time he lied about something, would it?
The former senior US official with direct knowledge of the Justice Department's investigations said Obama could not have ordered such a warrant. It would have been taken to a judge by investigators, but investigators never sought a warrant to monitor Trump's phones, the former official said.
A federal judge would only have approved a warrant to wiretap Trump's phones if he or she had found probable cause that Trump had committed a federal crime or was a foreign agent.
Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes echoed the point in a tweet responding to Trump on Saturday morning.
"No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you," he said in his Twitter post.

Nope, definitely not. He lies so much that at this point it's reasonable to assume that what he's said is false until it's proven true, instead of the other way around.
