Former President Donald Trump has reignited his longstanding feud with Barack Obama by accusing him of 'treason' for allegedly orchestrating a plot to undermine Trump's 2016 election victory through the Russia investigation.
The Trump administration, with support from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, has released documents and called for the prosecution of Obama-era officials, claiming they manufactured intelligence about Russian interference. Obama's spokesperson and Democratic leaders have strongly rejected these allegations, calling them baseless and a distraction from other controversies facing Trump. The claims have energized Trump's supporters but alarmed experts and critics who warn of the dangerous precedent of criminalizing political rivals.
The controversy comes amid heightened scrutiny of Trump over unrelated scandals, fueling further partisan division.
