While the Trump administration -- specifically Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard -- has released bombshell evidence implicating former President Barack Obama in the "Russia hoax," there may not be anything they can do about it.
According to the Daily Mail, President Trump recently admitted that his own massive Supreme Court victory that provided him immunity after his presidency could also apply to Obama.
That would mean Obama could argue that he's not able to be charged for any alleged "treasonous" activities related to the Russia hoax that nearly crippled Trump's first presidency.
That didn't stop Trump from previously accusing Obama of treason. Obama has already responded and strongly denied the allegations.
Trump was asked by reporters if the landmark Supreme Court ruling that protected him would also apply to Obama, and President Trump didn't deny the strong possiblity that it would.
President Trump went as far as saying that he did his predecessor a favor by securing the Supreme Court victory that offers an enhanced level of immunity for former presidents.
"He has done criminal acts, no question about it. But he has immunity and it probably helps him a lot. He owes me big. Obama owes me big," Trump said.
The Daily Mail noted:
The ex-president's team argued in late 2023 that Trump, and any president, must have absolute immunity from prosecution over actions taken while in office or it could impair important decision-making.
Meanwhile, DNI Gabbard made a number of explosive claims regarding Obama's involvement in the Russia hoax, even making several referrals to AG Bondi's office for further review.
Obama has vehemently denied the allegations and responded to the accusations publicly last week.
A spokesperson for the former president responded and said that Gabbard's report doesn't "undercut" what was claimed regarding Russia's alleged involvement in the 2016 presidential campaign.
"Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes," the spokesperson said.
Trump, when asked about the referrals to Bondi's office made by Gabbard, held nothing back.
“It’s Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office,” he said.
