The interviewer asked Trump: "It turns out
his organization seems to do a lot of these
organizing to some of the protests that these
Republicans are seeing around the country
against you. Do you believe President Obama
is behind it and if he is, is that a violation of
the so-called unsaid presidents' code?"
To which Trump replies by saying: "No, I
think he is behind it. I also think it is politics,
that's the way it is."
Trump then discussed the leaks that have
disrupted his first month in office.
"You never know what's exactly happening
behind the scenes. You know, you're probably
right or possibly right, but you never know."

Trump said in the interview, a clip of which
was released Monday night: "No, I think that
President Obama is behind it because his
people are certainly behind it.
And some of the
leaks possibly come from that group, which
are really serious because they are very bad in
terms of national security. But I also
understand that is politics. In terms of him
being behind things, that's politics. And it will
probably continue."

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s
nominee to be Secretary of the Navy, Philip
Bilden, has withdrawn from consideration for
the post citing concerns about privacy and
separating himself from his business
interests.
In a statement by the Department of Defense,
Bilden said he determined that he would not
be able to satisfy the Office of Government
Ethics requirements without what he called
“undue disruption and materially adverse
divestment of my family’s private financial
interests”.
