{{/usCountry}}In a press release, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated that its assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election uncovered “overwhelming evidence” that members of Obama’s national security cabinet "manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump."
Sharing the press release on X, Gabbard wrote, "Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it. We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral."
