President Donald Trump has called for the arrest of former President Barack Obama, accusing him of conspiring to undermine the 2016 election. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed Obama ordered CIA agents to create false intelligence in the “Russiagate” investigation and described it as a coup attempt.
Trump cited newly released documents from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, arguing they prove Obama worked to damage public trust in his presidency. He demanded criminal prosecution, stating, “ARREST OBAMA NOW!”
These claims have reignited long-standing political disputes over alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. While Trump insists the documents confirm misconduct, previous investigations have produced mixed conclusions, and Russia has repeatedly denied involvement.
The statements come amid broader political tensions and ongoing reviews of past election-related investigations, further deepening divisions between Republicans and Democrats.
