The Fix: Obama Team Shuts Down Trump’s Treason Accusation
Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason during recent public remarks. The claim was made while Trump avoided questions about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. He referenced an intelligence report claiming Obama-era officials politicized intel during the 2016 election.
Obama’s spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush responded with a statement rejecting the accusation. Rodenbush called the claim outrageous, bizarre, and a weak attempt to distract the public. The statement reaffirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, not U.S. intelligence officials. Multiple investigations found no evidence of altered votes or manipulated results.
The report questioned intelligence handling, but it did not revise previous findings. Obama’s team emphasized the need to stay focused on facts, not political spin. The accusation adds to Trump’s pattern of redirecting criticism during campaign season. The intelligence community maintains that Russia worked to influence the 2016 election outcome. Trump has often challenged that conclusion, despite evidence from bipartisan investigations.
The response from Obama’s camp reinforces that the facts have already been established.
Tensions continue to rise as the 2024 election cycle intensifies.
The Obama team says it will not allow false claims to overshadow the truth.
That’s The Fix.
