Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last week accused Obama and his top officials of committing ‘treasonous conspiracy’ in the investigation surrounding Russia’s 2016 election interference

U.S. President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of "treason" on Tuesday, accusing him, without providing evidence, of leading an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign.

Besides Obama, President Trump on Tuesday rattled off a list of people he accused of acting criminally "at the highest level."

In terms of day-to-day events, the former president tends to steer clear of the arena. There are, however, occasional exceptions.

Tulsi Gabbard claimed on "Hannity" on Friday that Barack Obama and his national security team manufactured the Russia hoax to "subvert the American people's will" in the 2016 election.

In July 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump posted an artificial intelligence-generated video of former President Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office.
