The U.S. intelligence community in 2017 said Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election and sought to hurt Clinton while trying to help Trump.

In a dramatic move, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a series of documents suggesting that the Obama administration may have politicized Russia intel about interference in the 2016 U.

In July 2025, a claim circulated online that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced declassified documents indicating former U.S. president Barack Obama authorized an assassination attempt on U.S. President Donald Trump just before he assumed office the first time in 2016.

The statute of limitations likely limits the Trump administration's ability to prosecute Obama for his alleged actions during the 2016 election.

Former Obama administration officials named in new revelations surrounding the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation have been silent amid allegations they "manufactured" intelligence that led to the opening of the yearslong probe.

The office of U.S. Democratic former President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that a document issued last week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence does not undercut the conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 U.

Donald Trump has accused former president Barack Obama of orchestrating a 'coup' and conspiring against him in 2016. The allegation was amplified by Trump sharing a viral AI-generated video depicting Obama in jail.

Former President Barack Obama denied President Donald Trump's “bizarre allegations" that he was the Russiagate “ringleader," in a rare public statement Tuesday evening.
