The U.S. Department of Justice now has evidence from Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump's director of national intelligence, that outlines how Barack Obama and his appointees "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to orchestrate the years-long Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory.
According to a report from Fox News, the DOJ has confirmed receipt of Gabbard's evidence.
Gabbard released documents on Friday that outline how Obama and his national security team "laid the groundwork" for years of attacks on Trump.
"Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people," Gabbard had posted to X on Friday regarding the criminal referral. "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."
Gabbard told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo Sunday how she found the evidence in the case, and determined, "The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic."
"Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she said.
WND reported Sunday that Gabbard said, "there must be indictments" for the "treasonous conspiracy."
"They all must be held accountable."
While noting she was not a lawyer, Gabbard expressed confidence in criminal prosecutions of the perpetrators.
"In my view, we have the evidence to move forward and indict and prosecute those responsible," she said.
"The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic. Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks after he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected."
She explained, "The effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic, and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump who was duly elected by the American people."
