Former President Donald Trump has launched a series of unsubstantiated accusations against Barack Obama, claiming his predecessor committed 'treason' by orchestrating the Russia investigation during the 2016 election.
Trump and his allies, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, allege that Obama officials manufactured intelligence to undermine Trump's campaign and presidency. Obama and his spokesperson have forcefully denied these claims, calling them 'outrageous,' 'bizarre,' and a 'weak attempt at distraction.' The intelligence community and multiple investigations have previously concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump.
The renewed accusations have reignited partisan battles and drawn criticism from experts and lawmakers who warn of the dangers of politicizing intelligence.
