Trump Rehashes Years-Old Grievances on Russia Investigation After New Intelligence Report
President Trump rehashed longstanding grievances over the Russia investigation, lashing out after a new report from his intelligence director aimed at casting doubt on long-established findings about Moscow's interference in the 2016 election.
In Washington, President Donald Trump reignited his resentment towards the Russia investigation that characterized much of his first term.
He launched an attack on Tuesday following a recent report from his Director of National Intelligence designed to cast doubt on established facts regarding Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
Trump accused former President Barack Obama and other officials of treason, asserting it was time 'to go after people,' a baseless claim that has been frequently made but now carries the weight of administration actions targeting individuals scrutinized by agencies charged with assessing Russian interference.The report by Tulsi Gabbard aimed at revisiting historical narratives sparked both political reactions and criticism from intelligence professionals.
Democrats decried it as factually flawed and politically motivated, while Trump commended Gabbard for her efforts, elevating her standing in his administration.Trump's actions come amid several investigations that have established Russia's interference in 2016, including the Mueller report and Senate Intelligence Committee findings.
Despite these thorough inquiries, Trump continues to pursue inquiries into those responsible for investigating Russian interference, aligning himself with a political base seeking more information on unrelated issues like the Jeffrey Epstein case.This development underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding the administration's handling of global security threats while navigating internal political dynamics.
