Tulsi Gabbard has ignited controversy by accusing former President Barack Obama and top national security officials of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” to falsely claim Russian interference swayed Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory.

In a dramatic move, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a series of documents suggesting that the Obama administration may have politicized Russia intel about interference in the 2016 U.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Sunday again decried what she called a “treasonous conspiracy” directed in 2016 by then-President Barack Obama against Donald Trump. Gabbard’s allegation pertains to the claim, promoted by Obama officials, that Russia interfered in that year’s election to elect Trump.
