Tulsi Gabbard Gives One-Word Answer When Asked If She’s Referring Obama For Criminal Charges

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Wednesday that she was referring former President Barack Obama for criminal charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Gabbard released a declassified file on Friday that she said consists of “overwhelming evidence” that Obama and his national security team “manufactured and politicized intelligence” after President Donald Trump’s 2016 win. At a White House press briefing, UnHerd Washington correspondent Emily Jashinsky asked Gabbard if she thinks the documents she has released criminally implicate Obama.

“We have referred and will continue to refer all these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this,” Gabbard said.

Jashinsky sought clarification.

“For even former president Obama?” she asked.

“Correct,” Gabbard responded.

“The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” she continued. “There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”
