Russian interference in 2016 included hacking the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee who lost to Donald Trump, and spreading propaganda. That interference was designed to sow discord and election distrust.

One day after President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason over the intelligence assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and sought to help Trump, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a highly sensitive congressional report she claimed was more evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy.

The U.S. intelligence community in 2017 said Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election and sought to hurt Clinton while trying to help Trump.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) compared the December 2016 date of former President Barack Obama’s meeting with National Security Council officials to Pearl Harbor, saying that day “will live in infamy” because of the Democratic administration’s alleged subversion of President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory over Russian election interference.

President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason following a report by Tulsi Gabbard, the current director of national intelligence, about the intelligence community’s assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Attorney Andy McCarthy claims Obama is deeply complicit in Russiagate revealed by DNI Gabbard, but notes prosecution is unlikely due to statute limitations and immunity.

The administration’s claims are overblown, but newly declassified information provides some messy details about a January 2017 intelligence assessment of Moscow’s election interference.
