Trump accuses Barack Obama of ‘treason' over false Russiagate claim
US President Donald Trump has launched an attack on Barack Obama, accusing him of fabricating the Russia collusion hoax, which tainted Trump's 2016 election. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released over 100 declassified documents, which showed there was no evidence that Russia tried to alter vote counts. After the document release, Gabbard said, 'The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic' 'Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected.' 'This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic.' While hosting the President of the Philippines, Bongbong Marcos, in the Oval Office, Trump was questioned on the plot. Trump said there should be 'severe consequences' for the democrats who got caught trying to 'rig' the election. Trump went on to say Obama was 'caught directly'.
