President Donald Trump claimed that former President Barack Obama was the "ringleader" of Russiagate, calling for him to be criminally investigated.

The backward-looking inquiries are taking place even national security agencies are confronting global threats.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday went on the attack against former President Barack Obama, over Russia and the 2016 election after his intelligence chief alleged a “treasonous conspiracy” committed by Obama and his officials.

Steele called the Obama video another one of “Trump’s dangerous attempts to distract his base from the Epstein fallout.” Still, his co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend argued that it’s only disguised as content and serves as “incitement” for Trump’s base, instead.

These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.” The statement continues, “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 election but did not successfully manipulate any votes.

New intelligence report accuses Obama-era officials of conspiring to unseat Trump. Democrats say the claim has no legal merit.
