What did Obama know about Trump and the Russian investigation? And when did he know that?
A newly declassified document indicates that former President Barack Obama participated in key meetings with intelligence and national security officials, which were pivotal in triggering the Trump-Russia investigation.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have recently made available documents that shed light on the origins of the FBI’s initial probe, dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane.”
Trump has accused Obama of orchestrating the Russian investigation narrative, a claim that Obama has strongly refuted.
In a statement, Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush commented, “In the interest of preserving the dignity of the presidency, our office typically refrains from responding to the stream of misinformation from this administration. However, these allegations are so far-fetched that a response is warranted.”
