President Donald Trump on Sunday repeatedly challenged former President Barack Obama for investigating him and his winning campaign before leaving office.
The president shared several messages on Twitter that criticized the ex-president.
“He got caught, OBAMAGATE!” Trump wrote.

He got caught, OBAMAGATE! https://twitter.com/mikandynothem/status/1259556010408075264 …Michael Nöthem@mikandynothemBarack Hussain Obama is the first Ex-President to ever speak against his successor, which was long tradition of decorum and decency.
Should anyone really be surprised?#TrumpsJealousOfObama? I SERIOUSLY doubt it...#ObamaGate #MAGA#KAG #FoxNews
Trump was triumphant after the Justice Department decided to drop the prosecution of his former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. But the president was also angered at his predecessor.
Other anti-Obama memes the president shared noted “Watergate will look like a parking ticket!”
One image Trump shared read, “Hope you had fun investigating me. Now it’s my turn.”
“The biggest political crime in American History by far!” Trump wrote, sharing a message from pundit Buck Sexton.

Buck Sexton✔@BuckSextonIf you read a news story about some European country where, after a fair election, the outgoing president used his last weeks in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the new administration, you’d be appalled
It happened here, and half the country thinks it was fine
“Deep state libs got away with this sham for years, and the process was a big part of the punishment for Flynn,” wrote Sexton. “Until FBI conspirators are in prison, it’s not justice.”
The president shared a message from Rep. Jim Jordan, noting Obama’s IRS targeted Tea Party organizations before the 2012 elections and the FBI targeted President Trump before the 2016 election.
“…And we caught them and their illegal activities!” Trump wrote.

Rep. Jim Jordan✔@Jim_JordanA pattern?
Obama’s IRS targeted conservatives before the 2012 election.
Obama’s FBI targeted President Trump and his allies before the 2016 election.
Scary!
