Obama Rejects Trump's Coup Accusations | JQJO

Barack Obama's office issued a strong denial of Donald Trump's accusations that Obama orchestrated a coup against him following the 2016 election. Trump's claims, echoed in a report by Tulsi Gabbard, allege Obama and others conspired to manufacture evidence of Russian interference. Obama's statement called Trump's allegations "outrageous" and "ridiculous," emphasizing that the widely accepted conclusion of Russian interference in the election remains unchanged by Gabbard's report. The statement cited a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report affirming these findings. Trump doubled down on his accusations, claiming to have "irrefutable proof" of Obama's alleged treason.
