DOJ Probes Obama-Era Russia Intelligence Allegations

The Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, has launched a grand jury investigation into allegations, prompted by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, that Obama-era officials fabricated or politicized intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. Gabbard alleges that senior Obama administration officials, including former President Obama, conspired to undermine Donald Trump by exaggerating or inventing evidence of Russian collusion, though Democrats denounce these claims as politically motivated. The investigation is currently in its information-gathering phase, with Gabbard meeting DOJ prosecutors and supplying declassified documents. President Trump has publicly supported the probe, while former Obama officials and their supporters dismiss it as politically motivated retaliation. No specific individuals have been officially named as targets, but speculation centers on former top intelligence officials, and legal experts suggest Obama himself is likely shielded by presidential immunity. The development marks a significant escalation in partisan conflict over the Trump-Russia investigations and the credibility of U.S. intelligence.
