WASHINGTON — President Trump called on the Justice Department Tuesday to prosecute former President Barack Obama for allegedly ordering an assessment that Russia meddled to help him with the 2016 election.
“Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people,” Trump said in the Oval Office after referencing newly aired allegations of Obama’s role in allegations of Russian interference after Trump won his first term of office.
“It’s criminal at the highest level,” the president added, referring to documents released last week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
“It would be President Obama, he started it. And [Joe] Biden was there with him, and [James] Comey was there, and [James] Capper — the whole group was there, and [John] Brennan.”
Trump added: “The leader of the gang was President Obama… He’s guilty.
“This was treason, this was every word you could think of. They tried to steal the election. they tried to obfuscate the election.”
