This news about a “coup” by the Obama administration against Trump comes from a new press release and declassified documents published by current DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who claims to present "overwhelming evidence" that Obama-era officials manipulated intelligence on Russian interference in the 2016 election and politicized it to undermine Trump.
However, this is a very recent development (dated July 18, 2025)—the claims and material are being reported as fact by some outlets, but the actual evidence is just beginning to come to light and has not yet undergone independent scrutiny or bipartisan review, so it’s too early to assess the veracity or impact of the evidence, or to say this is more than a highly politicized allegation.
Historically, mainstream investigations (Mueller report, bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee) found significant Russian interference in 2016, though they did not conclude that Trump or his campaign conspired with Russia. What’s new here is a direct accusation—based on newly released documents—of deliberate manipulation by Obama-era officials, but independent validation and wider context will be crucial in the coming days for anyone assessing whether this is solid evidence or a politicized narrative.
