A wave of headlines details how President Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have revived and escalated accusations that former President Barack Obama and his administration committed 'treason' by allegedly orchestrating a conspiracy to undermine Trump's 2016 election victory.
Gabbard has declassified documents she claims support these allegations, though multiple investigations have previously found no evidence of such a plot. The Trump administration is pushing for the Department of Justice to investigate and potentially prosecute Obama-era officials, despite bipartisan findings that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election. Obama and his spokesperson have strongly denied the claims, calling them a distraction from other controversies facing Trump.
Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, have dismissed the accusations as politically motivated and lacking credible evidence.
