Gabbard Accuses Obama of Fabricating Intel in 2016 Election
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard claims that Barack Obama and his team made up false information to make it seem like Russia helped Donald Trump win the 2016 election.
She says they created a story, even though they knew it wasn't true.
Documents were released that Gabbard claims show there was no proof that Putin wanted Trump to win.
She is giving these documents to the FBI and DOJ to investigate.
Obama's team says these claims are silly.
The documents names former intelligence chiefs and President Trump has joined the accusation against Obama.
Tulsi Gabbard alleged Barack Obama engineered false intel regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Gabbard stated Obama's team created a 'contrived narrative' to delegitimize Donald Trump.
Newly declassified documents reportedly show no direct evidence of Putin supporting Trump.
Gabbard referred declassified material to the DOJ and FBI for investigation.
