Eric Trump says former President Barack Obama oversaw and administration that had “more integrity problems” than any other.
During a “Fox & Friends” interview Thursday, President Trump’s son was prompted to respond to Obama saying in Canada this week that his team never made “mistakes of integrity” and “I’m proud that we left office without a scandal.”
Trump scoffed, pointing to scandals in surrounding the Internal Revenue Service and National Security Agency.
“They never had issues of integrity? So you never had the IRS spying on conservatives? You never did that? I mean give me a break,” he said.
“They had more integrity problems than any administration,” he added, pointing to “what they were doing to conservatives.” He also mentioned the NSA spying on civilians.

The IRS matter Trump mentioned relates to a political controversy and legal battle stemming from 2013 Treasury inspector general report that found the agency targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
