Gabbard claims Obama's goal with Russia narrative was to 'subvert' the will of the American people --Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard refers evidence to DOJ, says accountability is 'critical' for preserving American democracy | 19 July 2025 | Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard appeared on Hannity Friday night where she asserted that former President Barack Obama's goal with the Russia collusion narrative was to "subvert the American people's will" in the 2016 presidential election. Gabbard declassified the report on the Obama administration's Russia hoax on Friday, revealing "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–Russia collusion probe... The intelligence leader told Hannity that she would be referring the documents to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for further investigation, noting that accountability is "critical" to ensure Americans still have faith in our republic.
