Accusations surrounding Russian interference in elections have evolved, initially asserting that Russia altered vote tallies, which was rejected by the intelligence community. Gabbard's recent declassification of a 2020 report claims the Obama administration undertook a conspiracy against Trump. In response, Obama’s spokesperson criticized Gabbard's claims as distractions. Sen. Graham demanded an investigation into potential crimes, while Rep. Crow defended the prior transparency of information available regarding Russian meddling, asserting that all information was accessible to intelligence committees since 2017.
Gabbard declassified a report from 2020 that she alleges proves the Obama administration 'conspired to subvert the will of the American people' and engaged in a 'years-long coup against' Trump.
Sen. Lindsey Graham called for an investigation, stating, 'If there is evidence of a crime being committed or suspected evidence of a crime being committed, create a special counsel to look at it.'
Rep. Jason Crow criticized Gabbard as a 'weapon of mass distraction,' stating that 'no new information' was released and everything was previously available to the House Intelligence Committee.
In 2020, a Republican-led Senate panel supported the intelligence committee's conclusion that Russia meddled in the election and preferred Trump over Hillary Clinton.
