• Tulsi Gabbard declassified 114 pages of intelligence, referring Obama-era officials to the Justice Department for potential criminal investigation of alleged politicization.
• President Trump amplified the allegations by reposting an AI-generated video of Obama’s arrest in the Oval Office, publicly branding the actions as treason.
• Obama’s spokesperson labeled the accusations “ridiculous” and “a weak attempt at distraction,” affirming that no evidence undercuts the established conclusion that Russia influenced but did not alter vote counts.
• Sen. Mark Warner and other bipartisan leaders warned against weaponizing intelligence assessments, affirming prior reports found no indication of direct vote hacking by Russia.
