FAQ
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard publicly released declassified documents alleging that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence after the 2016 election to undermine President Trump, citing meetings and communications among national security officials that laid groundwork for the Trump-Russia collusion probe, though some sources claim these assertions are misleading.
The Mueller investigation found no evidence of criminal coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election, although it did not reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice.
Gabbard's claims have been questioned by fact-checkers and analysts who describe them as misleading; while Gabbard released documents asserting a conspiracy to undermine Trump, critics argue that the evidence does not conclusively prove wrongdoing and that much intelligence assessed Russia did not attempt to influence the election through cyber means.
Some analyses suggest President Trump's allegations against Obama and Biden serve as a diversion tactic to shift public attention away from investigations into his own connections, including links to Jeffrey Epstein, rather than being solely based on substantiated claims.
