Former President Donald Trump has intensified his attacks on Barack Obama, repeatedly accusing him of 'treason' for allegedly orchestrating the Russia investigation into the 2016 election.
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 allegations have been widely dismissed by Obama and Democratic officials as baseless and politically motivated distractions, especially as Trump faces scrutiny over unrelated scandals. The intelligence community and bipartisan Senate reports have previously concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, but found no evidence of a coup or treason by Obama.
The ongoing feud has further polarized political discourse and fueled demands among Trump's supporters for prosecutions of former Obama administration officials.
