Sources: Donald Trump Listened In On Phone Lines At Mar-A-Lago
Here's an old story from Buzzfeed- Trump has been doing this craziness for years.
But is he crazy enough to bug the White House?
At Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach resort he runs as a club for paying guests and celebrities, Donald Trump had a telephone console installed in his bedroom that acted like a switchboard, connecting to every phone extension on the estate, according to six former workers. Several of them said he used that console to eavesdrop on calls involving staff.
Trumps spokeswoman Hope Hicks responded to written questions with one sentence: This is totally and completely untrue.
The managing director of Mar-a-Lago, Bernd Lembcke, did not respond to emails. Reached by phone, he said he referred the email query to Trumps headquarters and said, I have no knowledge of what you wrote.
At the 126-room Mar-a-Lago mansion, Trump keeps an apartment set aside for himself and his family, and rents the rest out to guests and members.
BuzzFeed News spoke with six former employees familiar with the phone system at the estate.
Four of them speaking on condition of anonymity because they signed nondisclosure agreements said that Trump listened in on phone calls at the club during the mid-2000s. They did not know if he eavesdropped more recently.
