US President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused former President Barack Obama of “treason” without providing evidence.
Trump cited his intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard, who on Friday disintegrated the documents who reportedly showed how the Obama administration prepared a basis for an investigation in Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election.
“This is there, he is guilty. It was treason,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
Trump claimed, “He tried to steal the election, he tried to obstruct the election. He did so that no one ever imagined in other countries.”
Trump’s comment was when he faced questions from journalists about the department of the Department of Justice to interview Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend Ghhishlain Maxwell, who were convicted of helping the financial sexual abuse girls and is now serving a jail sentence.
Obama’s office slam ‘bizarre’ deflection
The former president’s office later stated with a statement that Trump’s “bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt to distraction.”
Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbash said, “Outside the honor of the presidential office, our office does not give a constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this house with response.”
“But thesis’s claims are derogatory to a qualification.”
The 2017 assessment of the American intelligence community concluded that Russia used social media disintegration, hacking and bot fields to damage Democrat Hillary Clinton’s President’s campaign and Bolt Trump. But the same assessment determined that the effect was probably limited and there was no evidence that Russia’s efforts excluded the election.
In 2020, a bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee – the then acting president Marco Rubio, who State Secretary of Trump – found that the Trump Abhiyan asked the Democratic document to “maximize” the “impact of the leaks of the boloon military intelligence.
