Tulsi Gabbard claimed on "Hannity" on Friday that Barack Obama and his national security team manufactured the Russia hoax to "subvert the American people's will" in the 2016 election.

Political controversy erupted on Friday, July 18, when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a declassified report accusing former President Barack Obama and key figures in his administration of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory.

Trump has tried to distance himself from the Epstein fiasco, telling the media and his own supporters to stop talking about the convicted sex offender. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump lashed out at his own supporters and claimed that the scandal around the Epstein files was a “hoax” promoted by Democrats.

As Democrats unpack their 2024 presidential election failures, former President Barack Obama called on the party to “toughen up” while speaking at a private fundraiser. But his comments are being met with some fatigue and criticism.
