Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, has come under fire for publicly accusing former President Barack Obama and his national security team of orchestrating a Russia collusion narrative with the intent of subverting the will of the American people in the 2016 election.
During an appearance on the Fox News show “Hannity”, Gabbard released over 100 declassified documents that she claims provide “overwhelming evidence” of a deliberate plot by Obama, along with key officials like James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Susan Rice, to manufacture a “politicized piece of intelligence” intended to challenge the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s election victory.
She argued that this manufactured intelligence was not only used to sow distrust in the results but also fueled a years-long investigation into Trump, leading to a costly and contentious probe that cost taxpayers millions. Her comments have sparked a broader debate about the integrity of the U.S. intelligence community and the ethical boundaries of political influence over national security decisions.
Gabbard emphasized that the goal of the Obama administration was to “not accept the decision of the American people” and instead use this fabricated narrative as a tool to “launch a coup” against Trump. She urged the Department of Justice to investigate further, calling for accountability and transparency to restore public trust in the democratic process.
In a further statement on “Fox and Friends”, Gabbard described the Obama administration’s actions as a “treasonous conspiracy” against Trump, asserting that no one, regardless of their position, should be shielded from accountability for such alleged misconduct.
