Only reason I posted this, as opposed to ignoring it as a rumor, is because an actual journalist conducted the interview.
In addition, transcripts of the audio and other such things are being released as we speak.
I'm still fully skeptic until I hear/see for myself.
That doesn't invalidate the source.
Furthermore, it's also why I explicitly stated that I'd wait and maintain skepticism until I see further proof. Which they maintain they have and have been leaking all day.
At no point have I said, "hey everybody this is fact!"
I even prefaced with "potentially" and clarified in comments.
If you want to completely disregard it, then do it. Literally no one is stopping you, are they? https://mobile.twitter.com/Annakhait/status/1316036755787784193
I wasn't saying anything about this particular story, but I don't think "actual journalists" saying something makes something more likely - more like less likely.
Anyone who believes this, I have a bridge to sell you.
This still sounds more plausible than the absolutely false theory that Trump colluded with Russia to win 2016.

We live in the age where any lie repeated long enough becomes a truth in the eyes of low information voters.
Based on Obama's proven track record of being a terrible human being, I don't think even this is farfetched enough to immediately discount.
The left is going to seethe about the Trump retweet of this regardless if it is true or not.
Did he actually retweet it? I went through his Twitter and did not notice it.

Someone who lies and destroys lives for a living?
