Former President Donald Trump has reignited his long-standing feud with Barack Obama, accusing the former president and his administration of 'treason' for allegedly manufacturing the Russia investigation that scrutinized Trump's 2016 campaign.
Trump and his allies, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, claim newly declassified documents prove a conspiracy by Obama-era officials to undermine Trump's presidency. These accusations have been met with strong denials from Obama and his spokesperson, who call the claims baseless and a distraction from other controversies, such as the Epstein scandal. Intelligence community assessments and bipartisan Senate reports have previously concluded that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election, but found no evidence of a coup or treasonous conspiracy by Obama officials.
The escalating rhetoric has alarmed political experts and deepened partisan divides over the legacy of the Russia investigation.
