FAQ
Tulsi Gabbard cites declassified documents and a classified House report, asserting they demonstrate a coordinated effort by the Obama administration to politicize intelligence and undermine Trump's presidency.
The declassified documents and investigations find no conclusive evidence of an Obama-led conspiracy; instead, they confirm that Russia conducted a covert influence campaign aimed at creating chaos rather than altering votes or specifically assisting Trump.
Investigations, including those by the Intelligence Community and the Senate Intelligence Committee, concluded that Russia interfered through influence campaigns to sow chaos and influence public opinion, but did not successfully alter votes or election infrastructure.
The January 6, 2017 intelligence assessment stated that Russian President Putin ordered an influence campaign to help elect Trump, which is not contradictory to earlier findings that Russia did not alter votes but tried to interfere in the election process.
Tulsi Gabbard has referred the documents she uncovered to the Department of Justice and the FBI for a criminal investigation, expressing her belief that there is sufficient evidence to prosecute those responsible.
