But the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that last week’s release of declassified documents demonstrates something different.

He is not budging an inch.

Former President Barack Obama is steadfastly saying the same thing: Russia, Russia, Russia.

Obama is sustaining that Russia tried to interfere with the 2016 presidential election, after intelligence officials declassified documents that clarified some of the actions by top administration officials at the time.

“Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,” a spokesperson for Obama told news outlets on July 22.

But according to The Epoch Times, the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last week released declassified documents, that allegedly shows that “President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”

Gabbard continued during a Fox News interview on Tuesday that the statement “does not actually address the issue that was revealed in great detail in the over 100 documents that we released last week, and the documents that we will be releasing later this week.”

President Donald Trump emulated Gabbard’s comments.

“It’s Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office,” Trump said, referring to the finding by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that Obama had asked for a new intelligence assessment into Russia’s supposed interference in the election after intelligence agencies had earlier found Russia did not use cyberattacks to target the election.

President Trump argued that “they tried to rig the election, and they got caught, and there should be very severe consequences for that.”

Gabbard said: “their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.”
