US President Donald Trump called for the arrest of former President Barack Obama, accusing his predecessor of plotting a coup in the 2016 presidential election. This statement was made by Mr. Trump in a post on the social networking platform Truth Social.
In his message, Mr. Trump said that Mr. Obama had directed CIA agents to fabricate false intelligence related to the Russia investigation, also known as Russiagate.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just released HUNDREDS OF SHOCKING DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE RUSSIAGATE CASE, proving that Barack Obama personally ordered CIA agents to create false intelligence about President Trump and actively "work with the enemy" to sabotage and erode the American people's trust in democracy and President Trump's resounding victory in 2016. This is a coup plot by Barack Hussein Obama and his cronies... As Jesse Watters said: "Whatever happens to these people is not revenge... but responsibility. And it's time for these people to pay the price". ARREST OBAMA NOW!", Mr. Trump posted on the social network Truth Social.
Mr. Trump described these alleged actions as a conspiracy to undermine the American people's trust in democracy and in his victory in the 2016 election. The US President emphasized that this was a coup attempt and demanded criminal prosecution against Mr. Obama.
According to the content of the post, Mr. Trump cited information that National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has released hundreds of documents related to Russiagate. Mr. Trump affirmed that these documents prove that Mr. Obama directly ordered the creation of false intelligence and "worked with the enemy" to undermine his administration.
The above statements were made in the context that Mr. Trump's administration is increasingly reviewing the behavior of political opponents in previous elections.
The call to arrest Mr. Obama appeared immediately after the US Federal Bureau of Investigation seized documents related to the 2020 election at the Fulton County Polling Office, near Atlanta. This activity was attended by many senior officials, including Ms. Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey.
Accusations related to Russian interference have been repeatedly raised in the West and in the media, but have also been rejected in many cases. The Russian side denies these accusations and affirms that they are baseless arguments.
