Gabbard has called for the investigation and prosecution of Obama administration officials, accusing them of a “years-long coup” against President Donald Trump.
Key Facts
In a Friday afternoon press release accompanied by a thread on X, Gabbard claimed “Americans will finally learn the truth,” about the 2016 election, and alleged the Obama administration and FBI officials “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create doubt around Trump’s election victory in 2016.
In a memo titled the “Russia Hoax,” Gabbard’s office outlines allegations against former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, which Gabbard says “clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.”
Months after taking office in 2017, Trump fired Comey, who had overseen the FBI during the investigation into Russian interference.
