Trump Orders DOJ to Charge Obama With Treason After Gabbard Report and AI Deepfake

Legal authorities dismiss the prosecution order as unfounded with many viewing it as a distraction from Epstein document scrutiny

Overview

  • President Trump directed the Department of Justice to prosecute Barack Obama for alleged treason, sedition and plotting a coup based on a disputed intelligence report.
  • The move follows DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s declassified assessment claiming Obama-era officials fabricated the 2016 Russia interference analysis and hinting at more document releases.
  • Trump reinforced his claims by sharing an AI-generated deepfake video on Truth Social showing FBI agents arresting Obama in the Oval Office.
  • Obama’s office and independent legal experts have labeled the accusations baseless and a weak attempt to shift public focus.
  • Critics see the offensive as an effort to divert attention from mounting criticism over Trump’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein documents and growing unrest within his base.
