Trump Accuses Obama of Treason Over Alleged Coup, Cites Tulsi Gabbard Report

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited controversy with explosive claims accusing Barack Obama and his national security team of orchestrating a “years-long coup” against him — a statement he made while deflecting questions about the late s3x offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday during a joint appearance with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, Trump referenced a report allegedly issued by U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last week. According to Trump, the report accuses Obama of being “caught directly” in actions he described as treasonous.

“The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold,” Trump declared.
“It’s time to go after people. Obama’s been caught directly. He’s guilty. This was treason. This was every word you can think of.”

 

The allegations stem from what Trump called a long-running effort to undermine his presidency — an assertion the Democratic Party has swiftly condemned as false and misleading.

Democrats, Obama Team Respond

In response to the allegations, Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush issued a rare statement, dismissing Trump’s remarks as an attempt to deflect from current controversies.

“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response.
But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,” Rodenbush said.

Epstein Shadow Looms

Trump’s remarks came amid renewed pressure on his administration to release further details about Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted paedophile who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting federal trial on s3x trafficking charges. The president did not address the issue directly but used the moment to shift focus toward his long-standing accusations of political sabotage.

The former president’s comments have sparked backlash across the political aisle and are expected to fuel further scrutiny ahead of the 2024 presidential race.
