Obama Office Rebukes Trump’s Treason Allegations as 'Weak Attempt at Distraction'

President Donald Trump has renewed his accusations against former President Barack Obama, alleging a 'treasonous conspiracy' involving manipulation of intelligence related to Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump’s director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released a report claiming officials from the Obama administration engaged in election fraud and called for criminal prosecution. However, Obama’s office strongly rejected these allegations, labeling them as 'ridiculous' and 'a weak attempt at distraction,' reaffirming that while Russia sought to influence the 2016 election, it did not manipulate votes. Obama’s spokesperson emphasized that these findings are supported by bipartisan investigations, including a Senate Intelligence Committee report. The renewed accusations come amid Trump's attempts to deflect criticism over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Political commentators and Democrats have largely dismissed the claims as baseless and politically motivated.
