Former President Donald Trump has seemingly endorsed a call for Barack Obama’s arrest, after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused the ex-president of orchestrating a long-term plan to undermine Trump’s presidency.
Gabbard Declassifies 114 Pages of Evidence
On Friday, Gabbard declassified over a hundred pages of documents tied to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to her, the files expose a plot led by Obama and top officials to use politicized intelligence in an effort to cast doubt on Trump’s victory.
“Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people,” Gabbard stated, describing the alleged operation as “a years-long coup.”
Trump Amplifies Accusations on Social Media
Trump, who has long claimed that the Russia investigation was a hoax, reposted Gabbard’s interviews on Truth Social, signaling his support for her claims. Then on Sunday, he escalated his response by sharing an AI-generated TikTok video titled “No one is above the law.”
The video features top Democrats—including Obama, Biden, and Pelosi—repeating the titular phrase. It then shows a doctored scene where Trump and Obama sit in the Oval Office before FBI agents arrive to arrest Obama, who ends up in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. The video is set to the upbeat tune of “YMCA” by the Village People.
Gabbard’s released documents reportedly reveal that top Obama-era intelligence officials, including former FBI director James Comey and former intelligence chief James Clapper, were aware that Russia posed no threat of directly manipulating the 2016 vote count. Still, according to Gabbard, they moved forward with a misleading narrative.
