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.

Bullying and harassment have been confirmed at universities in the United Kingdom, by those who advocate for the leftist gender ideologies prevalent in today's academia.
A report from the Christian Institute said university staff members and students both have suffered "extreme personal consequences" for declining to adopt the "wokeness" agenda of leftists.
A new report commissioned by the United Kingdom government looked at 130 responses to a call for evidence held on University College London's website, and it revealed that more than 58% of respondents reported "self-censorship and chilling effects."
Right behind on the list of impacts was "bullying, harassment and ostracism," at 42%.
"The new report cites recent investigations into bullying and harassment in academia. The report stated that several respondents to the Khan Review 'suffered extreme personal consequences, both to their careers and to their physical and mental health, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and extensive sick leave as a result of bullying, harassment and discrimination," the institute explained.
"The failure to adequately support and defend these individuals is a stain on the higher education sector," the report said.
In reference to Khan, it emphasized: "This is not a question of 'both sides' behaving badly in a 'toxic debate,' as we have now documented evidence of gender-critical staff or students advocating for or engaging in behaviors such as attempts to de-platform academics with opposing views."
The report finds that universities need to prioritize "the pursuit of truth as the core principle underlying university education and research" and then "help students to develop the ability to deal with robust disagreement as an opportunity for intellectual growth rather than a threat."
One of the investigators, Alice Sullivan, charged that, "Sex is a fundamental category in all research concerning humans, from biology to sociology." But, she explained, "When certain facts become unspeakable, it doesn't just hurt individuals, it compromises the integrity of scholarship. This weakens public trust in universities, science and scholarship, and ultimately undermines our democracy."
The government said in its response that it would work to promote and protect free speech on campus. It has new requirements scheduled to take effect in just a few weeks.
Just months ago, regulators fined Sussex University more than half a million British pounds for the schools' transgender activism that caused a "chilling effect' on lawful views of biological reality.

Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat representing New York in Congress, has found himself facing accusations he's been interfering with a federal criminal case over his political agenda against a law-enforcement nominee picked by President Donald Trump.
It is Jeffries who is the target of requests by multiple legal activists to the Ethics Committee for an investigation.
The development came about because he actively lobbied federal judges in the district to remove acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba from her post there.
Habba was appointed temporarily while her nomination as a permanent replacement moves through the approval process, but she is allowed to stay as an acting official for only a few months unless the judges in the district approve.
Jeffries was enraged at Habba because she charged Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., with obstructing Homeland Security agents during an altercation at an immigration facility in Newark on May 9.
McIver is heading for trial in November.
A report from Fox News explains Jeffries has made claims that Habba isn't qualified because she indicted McIver "for doing her job."
It was the Article III Project that wrote to the House Ethics committee with the explanation that Jeffries "improperly insert[ed] himself into a criminal proceeding."
"This is clear corruption by House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries," the charge said.
Jeffries discounted his interference in the case.
The Ethics Committee may or may not choose to act on Article III Project's letter. The group did not file a formal complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), which would have been required to study the complaint before giving a formal recommendation to the Ethics Committee, the report explained.
Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Habba to the position in an acting capacity and her nomination for the post permanently has been delayed by Democrats in the Senate who want to attack and delay the Trump agenda.
Fifteen of the 17 judges in the district owe their jobs to Democrats.
"A House member – particularly the House Democratic leader – who disagrees with the merits of a pending criminal case abuses his official position when he attempts to strong-arm federal judges to corruptly prejudice the ongoing criminal proceeding by firing the U.S. attorney for the purely political reason of protecting a partisan House colleague," charged the complaint.
McIver and two other members of Congress claimed to be doing "oversight" when they physically clashed with federal law enforcement officers.
WND reported McIver physically handled a federal agent at the time.
The situation is just a symptom, more or less, of a bigger agenda by the Democrats, according to constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University who has not only testified before Congress as an expert on the nation's founding law, but has represented members in constitutional disputes in court.
He explained the "new defense" being used by Democrats, from city council to Congress, is that "their official duties include obstructing the official functions of the federal government."
"The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. McIver is shown on video forcing her way into an ICE facility and striking and shoving agents in her path," he said.
He said officials were able to subdue the incursion quickly.
But the messaging from McIver was that she could do what for other citizens would be "trespass and assault" because of her "legislative oversight" privileges as a member of Congress.
Her comments were a reprise of what other Democrats already have demanded.
"Rep. Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) declared 'You lay a finger on someone – on Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the representatives that were there – you lay a finger on them, we're going to have a problem,'" the report noted.
Jeffries has "ominously warned the federal government that Democrats would bring down the house if it tried to charge McIver."
He said, "It's a red line. They know better than to go down that road."
The fault in making the "oversight" claim is that the law does not allow even members of Congress to have unauthorized access to secure federal facilities. Members of Congress can subpoena the executive branch, or get a court order, but they "do not have immunity from criminal laws in unilaterally forcing their way into any federal office or agency."

A member of Congress has sent to the Department of Justice the name of Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell, asking for an investigation for his alleged "lying under oath."
Powell is facing headwinds in his position now as he's push for leaving interest rates relatively high despite the booming economy, low inflation, and more, under President Donald Trump.
And specifically, he's come under fire from several interest groups or individuals for the renovation of the agency's headquarters where the costs have exploded from a planned $1.8 billion to more than $2.5 billion.
A report at Fox News explains U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., now has referred Powell to the DOJ for investigation, and possible charges.
A letter Fox obtained explained Powell is accused of perjury on two separate occasions.
"On June 25, 2025, Chairman Powell provided testimony under oath before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding the renovation of the Federal Reserve's Eccles Building. In his statements, he made several materially false claims," Luna charges.
She described as suspect his claims about lavish amenities as the agency's Eccles Building.
"Separately, in a letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, Chairman Powell characterized the changes that escalated the cost of the project from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion as minor. However, documents reviewed by congressional investigators indicate that the scope and cost overruns of this project were neither minor in nature nor in substance," she said.
She said Powell's comments about the building and its renovation project are "contradicted by the Federal Reserve's final submission to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and by the assertions made in Director Vought's own original letter to Chairman Powell."
At issue, the report said, are "a VIP private dining room, premium marble finishes, modernized elevators, water features, and a roof terrace garden" at the project.
The report explained Powell has denied they exist.
Powell, to a trade outlet, has denied accusations of perjury.

A lot of accusations have been made against Democrats, particularly Barack Obama and his henchmen, John Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper, about what they did after President Donald Trump was elected to his first term to try to undermine him.
Russiagate, the Steele dossier, FISA warrants and a thousand other things may come into play.
But in essence newly declassified documents suggest they worked together to try to set up a campaign that would undermine the first term for the nation's duly elected president, and possibly prevent him from being re-elected.
Multiple referrals have been made already to the Department of Justice.
But now an expert, Mike Davis of the Article II Project, has confirmed the Democrats are unlikely to get a lot of protection from legal arguments like the statute of limitations, or even Obama's status as president when the events started developing.
In an interview with Benny Johnson, Davis explained Obama, "might be able to claim presidential immunity for his actions while he was the president of the United States, and they'll have to litigate that. It's unclear whether he'll ultimately get presidential immunity for this. But I'll tell you this: it's an ongoing criminal conspiracy. And presidential immunity covers his actions while he's the president of the United States.
"They don't cover his actions when he's the former president of the United States. And when he's participating in the cover-up of this conspiracy, then he doesn't have presidential immunity."
And about that statute of limitations, which for federal crimes generally is five years?
"Back in 2016, you had President Obama, and then-Vice President Joe Biden, and Clapper, and Comey, and Brennan, and so many other goons make up the Russian collusion hoax. They worked with Hillary's campaign, the DNC. You had Perkins Coie law firm. You made up the Steele Dossier. You made up the Russian collusion hoax. You were lying. You said that Trump and his campaign were colluding with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. You fed this to the FISA Court as bogus evidence. So you lied to the FISA Court. You got an illegal spy warrant from this federal court. You spied on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. You continued to spy on Donald Trump when he was the president of the United States. You used his own FBI and his own CIA and other intel agencies to hobble his presidency.
"I remember when I went to the Senate Judiciary Committee at the beginning of his administration in 2017, and everyone was running around, including Senate Republicans, saying that Trump is a Russian asset because of this Russian collusion hoax."
The bottom line:
"So you say, 'Oh, this was 2016. We're well beyond the statute of limitations.' Guess what? You're not, because this is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. When you conspire, in order for the conspiracy to stop, you have to disavow — the conspiracy, the ends of the conspiracy have to end. It happens. They are covering up the conspiracy."

A police officer who manufactured a reason to arrest a man whom he saw walking along a road could end up facing serious consequences.
That's after the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed itself, based on a new precedent from the U.S. Supreme Court, and allowed a case against the officer to move forward.
"This ruling reminds police that the Constitution does not allow them to arrest people for bruising their egos," explained lawyer Marie Miller, who represents Mason Murphy.
"Mason will finally have his day in court, signaling stronger protection for every American who speaks up when government officials overstep."
The Institute for Justice explained the case:
"Murphy's ordeal began in May 2021, when he was walking on the shoulder of a rural road. Officer Schmitt stopped him, demanded identification, and—after nine minutes of back-and-forth during which Murphy calmly asked what law he had broken—handcuffed Mason and put him in jail. Body-camera footage of the arrest shows Schmitt scrambling to invent a charge—at one point asking a superior officer, 'What can I charge him with?' Murphy was released two hours later and was not charged with any crime."
Schmitt is Sunrise Beach, Missouri, police officer Michael Schmitt, against whom the case now will proceed.
Murphy's case raises the question about whether police can jail someone to punish them for questioning their authority.
The ruling stems from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2024 ruling in Gonzalez v. Trevino, which made clear that police and other government officials are not immune from suit when they arrest people in retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights.
The Eighth Circuit had ruled against Murphy but reversed itself when the Supreme Court vacated that ruling and sent the case back for further review.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says a second suspect is now in custody in connection with Saturday night's horrific attack on a Border Patrol agent in New York City, and like the first suspect in custody, he has a lengthy rap sheet and came to America illegally during the Joe Biden administration.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem identified the second suspect as Christhian Aybar-Berroa, a Dominican national along with Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, who was arrested over the weekend for allegedly shooting the Customs and Border Patrol officer in the face during an attempted robbery.
"We were able to bring the second individual in and have detained him as well, and he will face consequences and hopefully strong prosecution for his crimes and his involvement on Saturday night," Noem said, adding that he "entered the country illegally in 2022 under the Biden administration and was ordered for final removal in 2023 by an immigration judge."
Regarding Nunez, Noem told reporters Monday: "There's absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City."
"He was arrested four different times in New York City, and because of the mayor's policies and sanctuary city policies, was released back to do harm to people and to individuals living in this city."
Homeland Security previously said of Saturday's shooting: "A witness of the attack — believed to be an attempted robbery — states that she and the victim were sitting on the rocks by the water when 2 subjects on a scooter drove up to them and the passenger got off the back and approached them with a firearm drawn. The off-duty CBP officer responded by withdrawing his own firearm in self-defense."
"The CBP officer was shot in his right arm and left cheek. Thankfully, the officer is in stable condition at the hospital."
Noem personally met with the injured officer Monday, who is communicating with hand signals.
After her visit, Noem said: "I just want you all to know that we have our hearts and our prayers going out with our officer and with his family and his friends, and will be lifting him up in prayer for his quick recovery and his healing from this terrible tragedy that has befallen him."
"Our officer was off-duty on Saturday evening when him and his friend were attacked. They were attacked by two individuals that were set on robbing them, and thankfully he had his service weapon with him and was able to defend himself and his friend and injured one of those individuals that was trying to do them harm.
"His quick action speaks to his tenacity and his excellence in training and skill. And because of that, one of the perpetrators was wounded in this interaction and was incarcerated when he came in to get medical treatment."
"I'm calling on every single mayor and sanctuary city and sanctuary governor to change their policies and to change their tactics right now," Noem added.
"Their job is to take an oath to protect the public, to protect families that are out there every single day trying to provide for each other and to try to live the American dream. And they want to do so safely in their own communities. How many more lives will it take? How many more people have to be hurt and victimized before we have public safety? When I look at what Mayor Adams has done to New York City, it breaks my heart to see the families that have suffered because of his policies."
"We can look across this country at other mayors. We look at Mayor Wu in Boston and what has happened there under her watch, what's happened in L.A. with the riots and the violence and the protests that have gone on because of Mayor Bass and what she has perpetuated. When you look at Mayor Johnson in Chicago and how devastating it is to live in that city in some of those poorest communities, how they suffer every single day with the violence that's in front of them," Noem said.
Rodney Scott, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said, "This was 100% preventable. This was caused by bad policy and it can be fixed with good policy."
Border Czar Tom Homan said, "Sanctuary cities are now our priority. We're gonna flood the zone."
As WorldNetDaily reported, President Donald Trump on Sunday sounded off on the shooting, saying: "Last night, in New York City, an incredible CBP Officer was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden.
"He was apprehended at the Border in April 2023 but, instead of being deported, was RELEASED. The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage.
"The Democrats have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders, and now, they must all be thrown out or, in some cases, immediately prosecuted in that we cannot take a chance that they are able to come back. That's how evil and dangerous they are!"
On Monday, Trump added more, saying: "Crime in American Cities started to significantly rise when they went to CASHLESS BAIL. The WORST criminals are flooding our streets and endangering even our great law enforcement officers. It is a complete disaster, and must be ended, IMMEDIATELY!"

Now even a leftist court has sounded off on the wild claim by Democrats, other progressives, and Joe Biden that the Equal Rights Amendment now is "law of the land."
The ERA was proposed back in the 1970s, some five decades ago. It was approved by Congress and states were given seven years to endorse it. The deadline even, under a questionable scheme, was "extended" by three years.
It failed.
Then, not just years, but decades after the deadline has passed, Democrats in several states schemed to vote on the idea, with Virginia's "approval" coming just recently.
So claimed the Democrats that the damaging ERA, which could be applied to do things like erase abortion restrictions nationwide and require the draft for women, was the law.
Joe Biden quickly jumped out onto that limb.
However, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals now has ruled such claims "meritless."
The panel didn't even bother to explain its reasoning, stating simply, "We reject as meritless Valame's contention that the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified as the Twenty-Eight Amendment to the Constitution."
It was Vikram Valame who raised the demand that the court create the 28th Amendment judicially in a fight over the legality of the Military Selective Service Act.
A commentary a Twitchy took aim at the wild claim that the ERA was "law."
"There is a cadre of leftists who insist that a proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)—that would make governmental discrimination based on sex illegal—has somehow become part of the Constitution as the alleged Twenty-Eighth Amendment."
It was, in fact, dead for decades after states refused to endorse it before two deadlines passed.
"Then in the last few years a movement came about to give it a late ratification, with Virginia providing it the alleged thirty-eighth ratification. We say 'alleged thirty-eighth ratification' because besides the timing issue, many states that ratified it have purported to rescind that ratification. You cannot claim that thirty-eight states have ratified it without claiming that once a state provides its consent, it cannot withdraw that consent before the proposed amendment reaches the appropriate threshold.
"But what all of that tells you is that the Biden Administration had been fighting this case since June of 2023 and the government's lawyers never said, 'you know what? Valame is right! The ERA is part of the Constitution!' Even after Biden made his declaration that the ERA is part of the Constitution, his administration's lawyers were still fighting it through the end of his term.," the commentary said.
It explained, "Still, it is fair to say that the Ninth Circuit is easily the most liberal in America, so for this claim to fail, even against two Clinton appointees, is just about the gold standard for failing. It's a bit like playing a baseball game where the other side spots your team thirty points and your team still manages to lose. It is a pretty humiliating defeat for this claim."
WND previously reported, when Biden was making his claim to create the amendment that it was among his "flurry of strange and odd behaviors … during the closing days of his term in the White House."
The ERA would have said, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
The history of the ideology is long and convoluted but in every scheme it has failed. And under the Constitution, a president lacks the power to reverse court precedent, congressional action and legal determinations, all of which would be necessary.
The report noted that the U.S. Senate, on a 51-47 vote that failed to reach the required 60 votes, blocked the Equal Rights Amendment from being ratified into law in 2023,
WND reported when far-left Sen Kirsten Gillibrand demanded that the corpse of the amendment be dug out of its grave and added to the Constitution.
For the ratification of amendments to the Constitution, at least 38 states must adopt the proposal.
During the time allowed for the ERA to be ratified, 35 states did adopt it. But that was not enough, even after Congress extended the allowed time.
It failed to meet its ratification requirements by the first deadline in 1972, and again in 1982.
The Archivist of the United States has ruled, "The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) cannot be certified as part of the Constitution due to established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions.
"In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid. Therefore, the Archivist of the United States cannot legally publish the Equal Rights Amendment. As the leaders of the National Archives, we will abide by these legal precedents and support the constitutional framework in which we operate."
Lower courts also have determined the amendment may not be revived after a deadline for its ratification has expired.
One court advised, "Should Congress wish to propose the amendment anew, it may do so through the same procedures required to propose an amendment in the first instance, consistent with Article V of the Constitution."
The concept first was proposed in the U.S. House in 1923, but it didn't gain congressional action until the 1970s. But that legislation included a ratification deadline, which was extended once.
Three states, South Dakota, Louisiana and Alabama, in fact, sued to keep the ERA corpse in its grave.
Further, if ratifications after a deadline were to be accepted, there still would be the issue that Nebraska, Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky and South Dakota, after first adopting it, later reversed their decisions and withdrew their adoptions.

On the six-month anniversary of his inauguration, President Donald Trump celebrated his success, noting his poll numbers have increased despite calls from both Republicans and Democrats to release the files of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
"My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain 'troublemakers,'" Trump said on Truth Social.
"They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records.
"The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!"
In a separate message, Trump indicated: "Wow, time flies! Today is that Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, it's being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President.
"In other words, we got a lot of good and great things done, including ending numerous wars of Countries not related to us other than through Trade and/or, in certain cases, friendship.
"Six months is not a long time to have totally revived a major Country. 'One year ago our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival. Today the USA is the 'hottest' and most respected Country anywhere in the World.' Happy Anniversary!!!"
Regarding the Epstein case, Trump on Saturday said: "I have asked the Justice Department to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, subject only to Court Approval.
"With that being said, and even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!"

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Sunday "there must be indictments" in connection with a "treasonous conspiracy" by President Obama and his officials to thwart President Donald Trump in the aftermath of Trump's first White House victory in 2016.
"There must be indictments, no matter how powerful they were at that time," Gabbard said on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel regarding "manufactured intelligence" by Obama officials suggesting there was Russian collusion to impact the race. "They all must be held accountable."
"We are referring all of the documents we have uncovered to the Department of Justice and the FBI for criminal referral," she added.
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."
Gabbard noted this is not a Democrat or Republican issue.
"This is an issue that is so serious that it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she said.
"We had a sitting president of the United States and his Cabinet and leadership team quite frankly who were not happy with the fact that President Trump had won the election."
"They decided that they would do everything possible to try to undermine his ability to do what voters tasked President Trump to do.
"So creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected, contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to 'hack' the election for the presidency of the United States.
"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."
Gabbard explained once the manufactured intelligence was created after Trump's election in November 2016, "There was a shift in early December."
"Russia did not attempt to affect the outcome of the American election. That was never published. Hours before it would have gone into President Obama's president's daily brief, it was pulled by a senior-level intelligence official saying that they had to pull it because they had received new guidance.
"The very next day, this meeting was called, a National Security Council meeting, bringing all the senior members of President Obama's Cabinet, and the topic that was put forward was a sensitive matter.
"The tasks that came out of that meeting was coming from President Obama directing the intelligence community then Obama's ODNI Director [James] Clapper to produce a document, to produce an intelligence assessment that detailed not if, but how Moscow had affected the outcome of the election that had already occurred electing Donald Trump to the presidency. This document that they published in January of 2017 was the foundational groundwork that they continued reference over and over and over again to enact this years-long coup against President Trump."
Gabbard indicated "more detailed information about how exactly this took place" will be released next week.
"Accountability is essential for the future of our country, for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of our democratic republic," she concluded.
"Accountability, action, prosecution, indictments for those who are responsible for trying to steal our democracy is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to our country again, about how exactly this took place."
President Trump amplified Gabbard's message, posting clips of Gabbard on his Truth Social page.
