President Trump dropped a bombshell this week, branding Barack Obama as the behind the Russia collusion hoax that smeared his 2016 campaign. Trump accused the former president of treason during an Oval Office meeting, claiming Obama-era officials forged lies about Russian election interference to delegitimize his victory.
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, backed the claims by releasing declassified documents. These files allegedly reveal how Obama’s team manipulated intelligence to frame Trump as a Russian asset—a move Gabbard called a against America. The DNI insisted the evidence proves deep state operatives lied to the public about Russia’s election role.
Obama’s camp fired back, calling the allegations distractions. They cited bipartisan Senate findings that Russia wanted to help Trump—but never changed vote counts. Yet Trump supporters argue these findings were tainted by anti-Trump bias within intelligence agencies.
Senators like Lindsey Graham (R-SC) jumped into the fray, demanding a special counsel to investigate Obama-era actions. “If crimes occurred, we need answers,” Graham declared. Republicans argue the probe could expose how the feds weaponized fake intelligence to attack a sitting president.
Gabbard’s declassified files include internal emails and memos showing Obama officials pressured analysts to endorse their Russia narrative. A whistleblower revealed they were blocked from raising red flags about shaky evidence—even threatened for questioning the report’s accuracy.
Trump called the situation His allies say this scandal makes Watergate look small. They accuse Obama of orchestrating a deep state coup to destroy Trump’s presidency before it began—a story they claim the fake news media buried.
The battle over truth splits Washington. On one side, Trump says, “The Russia hoax is the biggest lie in U.S. history.” On the other, Democrats defend their narrative as protecting democracy. But millions of Americans now demand accountability for those who pushed the false story.
This fight isn’t about politics—it’s about who gets to control the truth. Conservatives warn: “If our own government can lie to undermine a president, who’s safe?” Trump vows to expose all culprits, declaring, “The American people deserve justice.”
