Barack Obama's spokesperson responded to President Donald Trump's allegations of criminal behavior by Obama’s administration as outrageous and nonsensical. Normally, the office refrains from responding to misinformation from the White House, but the severity of the recent claims warranted a reaction. An official report confirms that while Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election, it did not succeed in manipulating votes. Additionally, Trump claimed that Obama should face consequences for these alleged actions, while FBI official Tulsi Gabbard referred the matter to the Department of Justice.
"These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction, read the statement attributed to Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for Obama."
"Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes."
