Former President Barack Obama's office issued a rare statement on Tuesday responding to the latest flurry of attacks from President Donald Trump.

One day after President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason over the intelligence assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and sought to help Trump, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a highly sensitive congressional report she claimed was more evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy.

Timing-wise, Trump's post coincides with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's claims that she has evidence of an “Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert Trump’s 2016 Victory and Presidency.” In a tweet, she wrote: "Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people."

Former US President Barack Obama has said Trump's 'bizarre allegations' against him staging a political coup in 2016 are 'ridiculous' in a new statement.

Gabbard claimed on X that Obama had ordered the Intelligence Committee to produce an assessment that “they knew was false, promoting a contrived narrative, with the intent of undermining the legitimacy and power of a duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.”

Michelle and Barack Obama's marriage has been a hot topic lately. The former President and First Lady have had to contend with almost nonstop divorce rumors in the last few months, rumors the two have now addressed head-on.
