As Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard continues to release declassified documents and public statements alleging that former President Obama and members of his administration played a central role in “manufacturing” the narrative of Russian collusion in an effort to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, the charges, countercharges, and flat-out denials — including from Obama himself — continue to intensify.

According to Gabbard, the newly released reports and supporting materials reveal that senior Obama officials directed the intelligence community to create a misleading assessment, claiming — without basis — that Russia interfered in the election specifically to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
On Thursday, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), who served as Secretary of the Interior during Trump’s first administration, told Newsmax that the revelations being made by Gabbard’s office concerning Obama’s involvement in Russian collusion narrative confirm “what we all knew.”
