Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents which, according to reports, show that the Obama Administration had a heavy hand in the 2016 Russia Collusion Hoax, which plagued the first few years of the first Trump administration.
According to a post from Gabbard's official government account on X, the newly declassified documents reveal "overwhelming evidence" that President Obama and his national security team "manufactured and politicized intelligence" in order to build up the Russia Collusion narrative.
Fox News Digital reports that despite consistent reports from then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that indicated Russia did not have a measurable impact on the 2016 election, Clapper's executive assistant asked intelligence community leaders to create new assessments that detailed "tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election."
This was all reportedly done at the request of then-President Barack Obama and resulted in a new Intelligence Community Assessment being released in January of 2017 by the office of the DNI that contradicted the last six months of intelligence community assessments.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard said in her X post that "Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people." She's gone as far as to call this a "treasonous conspiracy" and is referring the documents to the DOJ for prosecution.
