Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired back at Barack Obama after the former president issued a rare statement in response to the bombshell evidence released related to the anti-Trump Russia Hoax.
The statement follows President Donald Trump’s assertion that Obama was the “ringleader” of the Russia collusion hoax.
While speaking with the media during a White House meeting, Trump said:
“NEVER has a thing like this happened before in our country.
“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.
“They tried to rig a whole election and GOT CAUGHT!”

The president had recently declared that Obama, along with Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and others, were responsible for orchestrating the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
The Russia Hoax dominated much of Trump’s first term.
Obama’s office responded with a carefully worded denial of these allegations, dismissing them as “outrageous” and claiming they were a “weak attempt at distraction.”
In response to the allegations, Obama’s spokesperson issued a statement defending the former president and attacking Trump’s claims.
The spokesperson said, “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response.
“But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.
“These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
The statement continued, “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes.
“These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”

However, a declassified presidential briefing from December 2016 sheds light on Obama’s knowledge that the Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.
The briefing suggested that Obama was involved in manufacturing and politicizing intelligence in order to create a false narrative that Russian interference helped elect Trump.
Trump did not hold back during his remarks in the Oval Office on Tuesday, saying:
“This was treason… they tried to steal the election…”
But Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman, wasn’t backing down.
In an appearance on Fox News, Gabbard fired back at Obama’s statement, asserting that she would release new documents to prove her point.

Later on NewsMax, Gabbard doubled down, revealing that she would be releasing further documents on Wednesday to refute Obama’s claims.
“We will be releasing further documents tomorrow that will refute that statement,” Gabbard said.
She continued, “We will be pulling a whole host of statements made by the Obama administration… that state over and over again, after this January 2017 manufactured intel document was created, that repeat the narrative… Russian hackers worked to aid Trump in the election.”
WATCH:
Gabbard’s response suggests that the battle over the truth behind the Russia collusion investigation is far from over, and she appears poised to continue her crusade to expose what she believes was a politically motivated operation designed to undermine Trump’s presidency.
The release of these documents may add fuel to the fire in an already heated political climate, with Gabbard taking on the Obama administration head-on.
As the controversy surrounding the Russia collusion narrative continues to unfold, Gabbard is positioned at the center of a storm that challenges the foundations of the intelligence community’s actions during the 2016 election, with significant implications for the legitimacy of past political operations.
