Tulsi Gabbard has ignited controversy by accusing former President Barack Obama and top national security officials of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” to falsely claim Russian interference swayed Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday released a report alleging Obama administration officials manipulated intelligence related to Russian interference in the 2016 election. Gabbard asserted in a statement that former officials engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy” and said her office was turning over evidence to the Justice Department for possible criminal referrals.
