In a stunning rebuke to the liberal media’s long-standing narrative, Tulsi Gabbard, now serving in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), fired back at Barack Obama after the former president attempted to dismiss President Donald Trump’s explosive accusations that Obama was the “ringleader” of the Russia collusion hoax. According to a declassified December 2016 presidential briefing, Obama knew the Trump-Russia narrative was a complete fabrication—yet he and his administration weaponized intelligence agencies to smear Trump and undermine his presidency.
President Trump didn’t hold back, declaring in the Oval Office:
“Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden… and so were the rest of them. Comey, Clapper, the whole group… This was treason… they tried to steal the election.”
BREAKING: Trump just WENT OFF about Obamagate and said the DOJ should go DIRECTLY after Obama.
"NEVER has a thing like this happened before in our country."

Yet, instead of addressing these damning revelations, Obama’s office issued a weak, condescending statement, claiming Trump’s allegations were “bizarre” and “a distraction.” They doubled down on the debunked claim that Russia “influenced” the 2016 election—conveniently ignoring that no votes were changed and that the entire “collusion” narrative was a politically motivated lie.

Tulsi Gabbard isn’t letting them off the hook. In appearances on Fox News and Newsmax, she announced:
“We will be releasing further documents tomorrow that will refute that statement… We will be pulling a whole host of statements made by the Obama administration… that repeat the narrative… Russian hackers worked to aid Trump in the election.”

This is a direct challenge to the liberal media, which spent years pushing the Russia hoax while ignoring real corruption within the Obama-Biden administration. The same media that parroted the Steele Dossier—a discredited Clinton campaign-funded smear—now refuses to acknowledge the mounting evidence that Trump was right all along.
🚨 BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just said *TOMORROW* she is releasing more Trump-Russia 2016 Hoax Files that directly "REFUTE" Barack Hussein Obama's statement today.
Holy smokes, Tulsi came ready.

Where is the accountability? While the left and their media allies demand endless investigations into Trump, they ignore their own role in one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. The American people deserve the full truth, and thanks to leaders like Tulsi Gabbard and President Trump, that truth is finally coming out.
