“It was treason,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office. “He tried to steal the election; he tried to obstruct the election.”
The President said, “He did things that were never imagined, even in other countries.”
Trump Comments indicated A rare public rebuke from Obama’s team, given that it usually does not comment on the “continuous nonsense and misinformation” from Trump White House, but realized that the claims of “treason” had crossed the claims to be worthy of reaction.
Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbash said in a statement, “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt of distraction.”
Last week, the document dump did not provide direct evidence contrary to the standing findings that Russia tried to influence the 2016 presidential election, but did not manipulate the votes directly. A review of the then Florida Senator and now a bilateral Senate intelligence committee led by Marco Rubio in the state supported the conclusions in a 2020 report.
