The Trump administration, with support from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, has launched a high-profile campaign accusing former President Barack Obama and his officials of orchestrating a 'treasonous conspiracy' to undermine Trump's 2016 election victory.
The Department of Justice has formed a 'strike force' to investigate these claims, despite multiple previous investigations finding no evidence of such a plot. The campaign includes the release of declassified documents and public statements alleging that Obama-era officials manufactured intelligence about Russian interference. Critics, including former Obama officials and some Republicans, have dismissed the accusations as baseless and a distraction from controversies surrounding Trump, such as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The rhetoric has led to a surge in threats against Obama and heightened partisan tensions.
