President Trump says that journalists should devote more investigative attention to his two Democratic predecessors than to, what he has termed, a sordid and deceased Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Tuesday, President Donald Trump didn’t hold back when asked about former President Barack Obama’s role is the Russia hoax that plagued his 2016 campaign and first term in the White House.
The comments come after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard exposed Obama for ordering the cooking of intelligence in December 2016 to push the false narrative that Trump was compromised and colluded with the Russia government to win the White House.
On Monday the Department of Justice confirmed Gabbard referred a number of former Obama officials for criminal investigation over their role in the Russia hoax.
Trump names those he says plotted against him
The president said he let Hillary Clinton “off the hook” after he got elected the first time. Now, he said, it’s time to target his political enemies.
He listed James Comey, John Brennan, Barack Obama and others who he accused of illegally plotting against him.
“After what they did to me, whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people,” the President said.
“The leader of the gang was President Obama,” he continued. “He’s guilty. … This was treason.”
