A wave of headlines has emerged following claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that former President Barack Obama was involved in a scheme to discredit Donald Trump's 2016 election win through the so-called 'Russiagate' investigation.
Gabbard and some commentators have called for Obama to be prosecuted, alleging a conspiracy within the Obama administration to undermine Trump. However, legal experts and former prosecutors widely agree that prosecution is highly unlikely, citing lack of clear evidence and legal precedent. Political figures and media personalities are debating whether these allegations amount to treason or are simply political maneuvering.
Despite the heated rhetoric, there is no indication that the Department of Justice will pursue charges against Obama.
