Gabbard’s comments come amid the declassification of a trove of documents from the U.S. intelligence community that claim the Obama administration politicized intelligence.

New intelligence report accuses Obama-era officials of conspiring to unseat Trump. Democrats say the claim has no legal merit.

Donald Trump’s intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard ranted about a “coup” supposedly launched by Barack Obama at a White House briefing on Wednesday as the Trump administration returns to the “Russiagate” investigation as a lifeline for an embattled president.

Tulsi Gabbard recently referred evidence supposedly showing Obama Administration officials conspiring to subvert Trump’s 2016 election victory and subsequent presidency to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.
