Obama insists again he was scandal-free:
"Amid charges his administration used the Justice Department and the FBI as a political weapon to undermine the Trump campaign in 2016, including a surveillance operation reported by the New York Times, former President Barack Obama insisted this week once again that his eight years in office were free of scandal.
“I didn’t have scandals, which seems like it shouldn’t be something you brag about,” Obama told the audience at a tech conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, reported Newsweek, which regarded the comment as a “light swing” at Trump.
Obama added that “if you look at the history of the modern presidency, coming out of the modern presidency without anybody going to jail is really good.”
“It’s a big deal,” he said.
Obama said he escaped scandal because he was able to accept bad news.
“No one in my White House ever got in trouble for screwing up as long there wasn’t malicious intent behind it,” he said."
