National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama and his national security team of treasonous activities related to the 2016 presidential election. She demanded criminal charges against these officials during a Friday statement following new declassified intelligence findings. Gabbard claimed the Obama administration deliberately altered and concealed intelligence about Russian election interference. Her allegations center on efforts to delegitimize Donald Trump's electoral victory through questionable intelligence methods. The director described these actions as an attempt to orchestrate a government coup against the incoming administration.
The intelligence chief provided declassified documents to the Department of Justice to support her serious accusations. She referenced discrepancies between pre-election and post-election intelligence assessments regarding Russian involvement. Gabbard specifically mentioned the controversial Steele dossier as part of the alleged manipulation scheme. Her office released partially redacted materials from James Clapper's tenure as Director of National Intelligence. Obama and the targeted former officials have remained silent about these substantial allegations against their conduct.
