Trump shared a Fox News clip alleging declassified documents prove Obama was briefed on Clinton's plan to smear him in 2016.
He reposted an X user's call for treason prosecutions and a meme demanding arrests, amplifying the message.
Trump has previously called for Obama's arrest, including sharing an AI-generated video of Obama being arrested in July 2025.
Tulsi Gabbard made claims about Brennan and Obama’s 'Treason' based on a declassified 2020 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Republican majority staff report.
Why this matters: These accusations, amplified by Trump's social media presence, continue to shape public perception of past political events, even without any legal basis. The claims also contribute to ongoing political polarization and distrust in institutions.
In a series of Truth Social posts on April 24, 2026, Donald Trump revived accusations of treason against Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, citing 'declassified documents' reported on by Fox News. The claim centers around the assertion that former CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-President Obama on Hillary Clinton's purported plan to smear Trump during the 2016 campaign.
Trump's actions included:
Sharing a Fox News segment featuring Bret Baier discussing the alleged declassified documents.
Reposting an X user's demand for treason prosecutions.
Sharing a meme calling for arrests of those who 'broke the law.'
Demanding the 2020 election results be 'permanently wiped' and calling for Chuck Schumer's resignation.
This isn't the first time Trump has made such accusations. In July 2025, he reposted an AI-generated video depicting Obama's arrest. Obama's office responded, dismissing the claims as 'outrageous.'
Tulsi Gabbard's claims are based on a declassified 2020 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Republican majority staff report.
Despite these repeated allegations, no charges have been filed against Obama or Clinton. Critics point out that the original claims of Russian collusion have been thoroughly investigated, with findings of Russian interference but no established criminal conspiracy involving the Trump campaign.
