Democratic lawmakers on Sunday raised questions about President Trump's claims a day earlier that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign.
Democrats criticized Trump for presenting the allegations with no evidence, calling the president's claims "ridiculous" and dismissing the comments as an attempt to change the subject from Russian interference in the election.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Obama had "flatly denied that he has done this," and said the claim by Trump presented issues for the president whether it turned out to be true or not.
"Either way, Chuck, the president's in trouble. If he falsely spread this kind of misinformation, that is so wrong," Schumer said during an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press."
"It's beneath the dignity of the presidency. It is something that really hurts people's view of government."
The New York Democrat said if the allegations prove false, it shows the president doesn't know how to "conduct himself."
"On the other hand, if it's true, it's even worse for the president," Schumer said.
"Because that means that a federal judge, independently elected, has found probable cause that the president, or people on his staff, have probable cause to have broken the law or to have interacted with a foreign agent."

The last paragraph is basically saying that a federal judge has reason to believe that the president or people on his staff may have broken the law or have spoken with a foreign agent.

@Victoria0327 Thank you very much. Now it is getting clear to me.
But why does it say "if Obama's wiretapping is true, a federal judge may have a reason to believe Trump may have broken the law or have spoken with a foreign agent?

The reason it's said in that way is because the author of this article is writing in a very formal way. The phrase "if Obama's wiretapping is true" is meant to say that proving that Obama did some sort of wiretapping can be evidence for a federal judge

@Victoria0327 I think If Obama did something wrong, he should be summoned to appear at the federal court.
But Shumer says Trump will be in trouble whether Obama's tapping is true or not.
I am still confused....

I agree with you in this aspect. I don't really read up much on politics so I'm probably not going to be much help on why Shumer is saying that.
