Former President Donald Trump and his allies, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, have intensified claims that Barack Obama and his administration committed 'treason' by allegedly manufacturing intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Trump has publicly called for the Justice Department to prosecute Obama, accusing him of orchestrating a conspiracy to undermine Trump's presidency. These accusations are based on newly declassified documents and memos released by Gabbard, though critics argue the evidence is misleading and politically motivated. Obama and his spokesperson have strongly denied the allegations, calling them 'ridiculous' and a distraction from other controversies.
The dispute has reignited partisan battles over the legitimacy of the Russia investigation and the use of intelligence for political purposes.
