White House revives 'Obama coup' claim to deflect Epstein scandal Americas The White House on Wednesday accused Barack Obama of leading a "treasonous conspiracy" against Donald Trump, in an apparent attempt to shift attention from renewed scrutiny over Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the administration’s stalled promise to release case files.
The White House pulled out all the stops Wednesday to promote claims that Barack Obama headed a "treasonous conspiracy" against Donald Trump, seeking to redirect public attention from uproar over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein affair.
Trump's intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard, told a White House press briefing there had been a "years-long coup" by Obama.
The extraordinary narrative essentially rehashed Trump's longstanding argument that investigations into Russia's multi-layered attempts to disrupt the 2016 election, in which he beat Hillary Clinton, were a "hoax" against him.
Gabbard touted newly declassified intelligence that she said provided "irrefutable evidence" that Obama had ordered intelligence assessments to be manipulated to accuse Russia of election interference to help Trump.
The Justice Department announced the formation of a "Strike Force" to examine the allegations with "utmost seriousness."
But Gabbard's findings run up against four separate criminal, counterintelligence and watchdog probes between 2019 and 2023 – each of them concluding that Russia did interfere and did, in various ways, help Trump.
As a way to distract from the intensifying speculation over Trump's handling of the case against the late sex offender and reputed pedophile pimp to the powerful Epstein, the Obama accusations had some effect.
White House journalists at the briefing barely asked about Epstein, focusing instead on Gabbard's claims, and Fox News heavily promoted the Obama story to its right-wing audience.
However, the Epstein scandal quickly roared back, showing just how hard it is for 79-year-old Trump to maintain his usual mastery of driving news agendas – even within his fervently loyal "MAGA" base.
