Former President Donald Trump has accused Barack Obama of treason and called for his prosecution following a controversial report that claims officials from the Obama administration manipulated intelligence on Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly submitted criminal referrals to the Justice Department, citing the report released last Friday. The report alleges that Obama-era officials conspired to fabricate evidence of Russian election meddling in order to undermine Trump’s presidency.
Gabbard claimed that Obama and his team orchestrated a false narrative to justify what she described as a “years-long coup” attempt against Trump.
However, her assertions contradict the findings of four major investigations—criminal, counterintelligence, and oversight—conducted between 2019 and 2023, all of which confirmed that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election to benefit Trump.
