Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she’s submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, seeking to bring charges against Barack Obama, claiming the former president led a “treasonous conspiracy” to mislead the public on Russia’s role in the 2016 election. Her wild accusations came as Trump posted an AI-generated video depicting Obama’s arrest in the Oval Office by federal agents. In a lengthy rant to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump repeatedly claimed without evidence that Obama had committed “treason” — a crime punishable by death in the U.S.

President Donald Trump: “This is like proof, irrefutable proof, that Obama was sedatious [sic], that Obama led — was trying to lead a coup.”

In a statement, former President Barack Obama condemned President Trump’s allegations as “bizarre” and a “weak attempt at distraction.”
