President Trump on Sunday went after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and President Obama in a series of early morning tweets.

In his first tweet of the day, the president questioned whether the DNC refused to let the FBI have access to its servers after it learned it had been hacked.

“Is it true the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked?” Trump asked.

“Can that be possible?”

In a subsequent tweet, the president raised questions about former President Barack Obama’s ties with Russia.

“Who was it that secretly said to Russian President, ‘Tell Vladimir that after the election I’ll have more flexibility?'” he tweeted.

{mosads}Before the election in 2012, Obama told former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev he would have more “flexibility” to deal with issues such as missile defense following the election.

The tweets come after the president on Saturday claimed Obama had his “wires tapped” at Trump Tower before his victory. The president provided no evidence for his claims.
