A wave of headlines centers on President Donald Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accusing former President Barack Obama and his administration of orchestrating a 'treasonous conspiracy' to undermine Trump's 2016 election victory.
Gabbard has released declassified documents and called for criminal referrals, alleging that Obama officials manufactured intelligence about Russian interference. These claims contradict previous bipartisan investigations and the consensus of the U.S. intelligence community, which found Russia did interfere in the 2016 election. Critics argue that the accusations are politically motivated attempts to rewrite history and distract from other controversies facing Trump.
The story has reignited partisan battles over the legitimacy of the Russia investigation and the use of intelligence for political ends.
