Trump accuses Obama of the Hochgerrat, commented on

On Friday, the director of the National Secret Service, Tulsi Gabbard, published a variety of documents, who in their opinion blame members of the Obama administration for "treacherous" behavior during the 2016 elections. These accusations mix in the claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections, with the idea that Russia was actively trying to manipulate the results by hacking electoral systems. CNNS Jeremy Herb and Katie Bo Lillis have looked through the documents and spoke to people who worked on a cross -party review of the 2016 elections in the Senate.

Trump expresses severe allegations

Nevertheless, President Donald Trump did not prevent the former President Barack Obama of the Hochgerrat's accusing, a crime that can be punished in the United States with death. He expressed these allegations during an appointment in the Oval Office, where he spoke about trade questions with the Filipino leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Obama's reaction to the allegations

The Obamas office made a rare statement: "Out of respect for the office of president, our office usually does not give any statements about the constant nonsense and misinformations that flock out of this white house. But these claims are so outrageous that they earn an answer," said spokesman Patrick Rodenbush. “These bizarre allegations are absurd and a weak attempt to distract. Nothing in the documents that were published last week contradicts the generally recognized conclusion that Russia has tried to influence the 2016 presidential elections, but no votes were successfully manipulated in a report of 2020 of the Senate's cross -party contracting shot, directed by the presiding Marco at that time Rubio, confirmed. ”

Details on the claims

Trump said that in his opinion Obama was the leader of this supposed conspiracy. "Based on what I read and what they read, it would be President Obama. He started. Biden was there too, as was (the former FBI director James) Comey and (the former director of the National Secret Service James) Clapper," said Trump in the oval Office.

The Steele report and its consequences

Trump continued to refer to the role of Hillary Clinton and the financing of the Steele dossier, which he described as "totally fake". "Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats, paid $ 12 million to Christopher Steele to create a report that was a totally fake report," said Trump. Despite the distractions, the conclusion of the US secret services remains that Russia has tried to intervene in the elections. The Mueller report came to the conclusion that there were interactions between Trump's campaign and Russians during the election campaign, but did not prove that Trump or his campaign collected or committed a crime.

Trump and the 2020 elections

With his statements about treason and election fraud, Trump tried to put the 2020 elections into a negative context. "Because it was manipulated, we have millions of people in our country. We had inflation. We solved the inflation problem," said Trump, while still no evidence of fraud in the 2020 elections.

summary and outlook

Overall, the discussion about the allegations against Obama, the role of Russia in the 2016 elections and the events related to the 2020 elections remains a controversial and polarized topic in US politics. Despite Trump's vehement accusations and the publication of documents, there are no clear evidence that support his claims.
