Obama breaks silence with rare statement after…
Trump Accuses Obama of Election Interference
Former President Obama pushed back after Donald Trump accused him of rigging the 2016 and 2020 elections. During a press event with Philippine President Marcos Jr., Trump dodged questions about Jeffrey Epstein and instead claimed, “Obama has been caught directly.”
Obama’s Response
Obama’s spokesperson, Patrick Rodenbush, called it “a weak attempt at distraction,” criticizing the White House for spreading “constant nonsense and misinformation.” He added the accusations were “so ludicrous that they deserve one” response, breaking from their usual silence out of respect for the presidency.
Addressing Gabbard and Treason Claims
Rodenbush also rejected Tulsi Gabbard’s claims of a “treasonous conspiracy” by Obama-era officials, pointing to bipartisan findings.
Bipartisan Findings Undercut Trump’s Claims
Rodenbush cited the 2020 Senate Intelligence Committee report, led by Republican Marco Rubio, confirming Russia interfered but did not change votes—contradicting Trump’s allegations.
