Rather than stay silent, Obama’s team responded with a sharply-worded statement—one of the rare instances they’ve addressed Trump directly since he left office. The message, while wrapped in polished language, could not hide the fact that nerves were struck.
“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,” Obama’s office said.
The statement went on to defend the intelligence community’s consensus, stating:
“Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”
Appearing on Fox News, she dismissed Obama’s carefully-crafted rebuttal and accused the former president and his team of continuing to mislead the American people. Gabbard didn’t stop there—she also teased the release of new evidence that could dismantle the defense Obama’s camp tried to mount.
“We will be releasing further documents tomorrow that will refute that statement,” Gabbard announced during a later interview on Newsmax.
She made clear that these documents would directly contradict the Obama administration’s long-standing claims about Russian interference and the Trump campaign’s involvement.
“We will be pulling a whole host of statements made by the Obama administration…that state over and over again, after this Jan. 2017 manufactured intel document was created, that repeat the narrative…Russian hackers worked to aid Trump in the election,” she explained.

🚨 BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just said *TOMORROW* she is releasing more Trump-Russia 2016 Hoax Files that directly "REFUTE" Barack Hussein Obama's statement today.
The battle over who orchestrated the Russia collusion hoax is once again front and center—this time with new firepower and key players speaking up.
Gabbard’s promise to release documentation is adding fresh momentum to a story that Democrats have long tried to bury. With the spotlight back on Obama’s role and a growing list of whistleblowers and declassified reports raising questions, the narrative Democrats pushed for years is rapidly unraveling.
If Gabbard’s promised documents deliver, Obama may find himself in a political firestorm not even his slick PR machine can put out. And as more Americans demand answers, it’s clear this fight over truth, power, and accountability is far from over.
