Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has ignited a major political controversy by accusing former President Barack Obama and his administration of orchestrating a 'treasonous conspiracy' to undermine Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
Gabbard alleges that Obama-era officials 'manufactured' intelligence about Russian interference, and she has referred these claims to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. Critics, including media commentators and lawmakers, have called Gabbard's assertions misleading and politically motivated, noting they contradict the findings of multiple prior investigations. The move has reignited partisan battles over the legitimacy of the Russia investigation and the conduct of U.S. intelligence agencies.
The Justice Department has confirmed receipt of Gabbard's criminal referral, but no charges have been filed.
