Tulsi Gabbard has openly accused the Obama administration of launching a “years-long coup” against President Donald Trump in an attempt to subvert his 2016 election win.
Gabbard released declassified emails Friday and claimed that they reveal a “treasonous conspiracy” committed by former President Barack Obama and his officials over the investigation surrounding Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Trump accused Obama, former President Biden, Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper of trying "to rig an election," adding without merit that "they got caught."
