DNI Tulsi Gabbard released reports on July 23, 2025, proving that Obama directly gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion Hoax, knowing there was no proof that Putin backed Trump. The Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise.
Documents revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was “probably not trying…to influence the election by using cyber means.” The declassified 2020 House Intelligence Committee report found that the Obama intel community did not have direct evidence Putin wanted to help elect Trump in 2016 but published it anyway on the orders of Obama.
