Trump alleged that Obama oversaw a criminal conspiracy regarding the 2016 election, calling for his arrest based on unsubstantiated claims of treason. He claimed Obama's administration purposely misled the public about Russian election interference. Trump often repeats falsehoods regarding election integrity and has questioned the findings of multiple investigations into Russian influence in the 2016 election. Despite a special counsel's conclusion that there was insufficient evidence of collusion, Russian interference was acknowledged. Trump considers these investigations as politically motivated efforts to undermine his presidency.
The leader of the gang was President Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Trump told the media. He's guilty. This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election.
President Trump has a history of spreading election-related falsehoods, including by denying his own defeat in the 2020 race, while seeking to settle scores over his victory in the 2016 presidential contest.
In 2016, in the waning days of Obama's second term, the Central Intelligence Agency concluded that Russia had attempted to sway the results in Trump's favour, prompting Obama to take retaliatory measures.
A special counsel's report found there was not enough evidence to support the claim that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia, yet reiterated that Russia had interfered in the election.
