President Donald Trump called for prosecuting former President Barack Obama, accusing him of orchestrating a treasonous conspiracy related to the 2016 election. The accusations are based on a report from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claiming to show evidence against Obama and others.
Obama’s spokesperson, Patrick Rodenbush, dismissed Trump’s claims as bizarre allegations and a weak attempt at distraction, asserting that they do not undermine the conclusion that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election but did not manipulate any votes.
A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report confirmed that Russia attempted to influence the election but did not manipulate votes, contradicting Trump’s claims.
