Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the political landscape with claims of a years-long plot against President Donald Trump.
Gabbard, appearing on Newsmax’s "Rob Schmitt Tonight" on Tuesday, alleged that former President Barack Obama and his national security team orchestrated a Russia-connected coup attempt, backed by what she calls overwhelming evidence already handed over to the Department of Justice, with more documents set for release on Wednesday.
The story kicked off days before Tuesday when Gabbard first announced she had provided the DOJ with substantial proof of this alleged scheme, pointing fingers at high-ranking officials from the previous administration.
Delving deeper, Gabbard spotlighted a specific White House meeting on Dec. 9, 2016, involving top National Security Council principals, where a new assessment was requested to outline Moscow’s supposed influence on the 2016 election.
According to Gabbard, this was no innocent review but part of a broader, calculated effort to undermine Trump—quite the accusation against a former commander-in-chief.
Not surprisingly, a spokesperson for Obama fired back on Tuesday, labeling the claims as “outrageous” and dismissing any notion of wrongdoing with a straight face.
The spokesperson added, “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia meddled in the 2016 election without directly altering votes. Well, that’s a convenient sidestep, isn’t it—acknowledging interference while dodging the coup allegation entirely?
Gabbard, undeterred, promised that additional documents would be unveiled on Wednesday to directly counter these denials from Obama’s team, hinting at a paper trail that could expose some uncomfortable truths.
She even teased, “We will be releasing further documents tomorrow that will refute that statement.” If those files pack the punch she claims, we might be in for a political earthquake.
Adding intrigue, Gabbard noted that since her initial announcement on Friday, whistleblowers have emerged with fresh information tied to this controversial period, though she kept the specifics under wraps for now.
One can’t help but wonder if these insiders are the key to unraveling a narrative that’s been carefully curated for years by powerful figures. The timing of their courage is certainly raising eyebrows.
On the legal front, Gabbard deferred to the Department of Justice for the next steps, emphasizing, “The legal path forward will be up to the Department of Justice to determine.”
Yet she didn’t shy away from the bigger picture, passionately arguing, “It is essential that for the future of our nation and our democratic republic, accountability must occur.” That’s a rallying cry for justice, no matter who’s in the crosshairs.
Let’s be clear: if Gabbard’s evidence holds water, this isn’t just about politics—it’s about protecting the integrity of our system from those who might abuse power behind closed doors. While the left may scoff at these claims as a conspiracy theory, conservatives are right to demand transparency over blind loyalty to any administration, past or present.
