Fox News digital reported on Monday that it received confirmation from the Department of Justice “that it has received Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral” to probe Obama-era officials for “manufactured and politicized intelligence” regarding the Trump-Russia probe.
Last week, Gabbard declassified documents, which were quickly reported on by Fox, which she claims implicate former President Barack Obama in the widespread allegations that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.
Trump famously publicly called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails in a speech during the campaign, which Russia did later do and leaked online.
Earlier on Monday, as Trump continues to grapple with fallout from his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, the president posted an AI-generated clip of the FBI arresting Obama in the Oval Office. In the clip, Obama is brought to his knees and handcuffed in front of a seat and smiling Trump.
Trump has long raged against what he calls the “Russia hoax” despite a Republican-led Senate investigation into claims of Russian collusion finding Russia did attempt to interfere with the election and had contact with the Trump campaign.
The Senate panel investigating the election published a 1,000-page report in 2020, which found “Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf,” reported the AP at the time.
The report added that “the Trump campaign chairman had regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and says other Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin’s aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence officers.”
Another delirious Trumpster lost in Lalaland! Wherever does he find all these sycophantic whack jobs?
