Speaking from the Oval Office on July 22, Trump told reporters, “It’s there, he’s guilty. This was tre.as.on.” He accused Obama of attempting to st.eal the 2016 election and manipulate intelligence to suggest Russian interference. According to Trump, Obama’s administration “tried to obfuscate the election” in ways “nobody’s ever imagined.”
As with past claims, Trump did not provide evidence. His remarks followed comments by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who also accused Obama of a “treasonous conspiracy” tied to Russia’s alleged election interference.
