The senator’s remarks come days after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced new evidence suggesting the Obama administration undermined the start of Trump’s first term by publicly alleging Russia helped Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016 despite evidence to the contrary.

The intelligence community, in fact, concluded that Russia was “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means” in the months before the election, according to the evidence released by Gabbard’s office.

Furthermore, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence at the time, had prepared talking points stating, “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential election outcome.” The statement was dated Dec. 7, 2016.

Obama’s White House held a National Security Council meeting two days later to discuss Russia. Former Cabinet-level officials — including Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch — were among those present at the meeting.

The Obama administration quickly reversed course on those previous statements after the meeting, ordering a new intelligence community assessment indicating Russia meddled in the election and leaking statements to the news media in line with that narrative.

Gabbard’s office said the Obama-era intelligence was “manufactured and politicized.”

Gabbard is confident in the new evidence that she referred Obama to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution but stopped short of recommending any specific charges, including treason.

“There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Barack Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew that was false,” she said during Wednesday’s White House press briefing. “The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”

Trump has repeatedly called the claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election a “hoax” peddled by Democrats. The president has similarly accused his political opponents of manufacturing the issue surrounding convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.

“It was a hoax,” Trump said in the Oval Office last week. “It’s all been a big hoax. It’s perpetrated by the Democrats, and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net. And so they try and do the Democrats’ work. The Democrats are good for nothing other than these hoaxes.”
