Trump Renews Calls for Obama Arrest Over 2016 Russia Intelligence Claims

Trump repeated unproven claims that Obama orchestrated false 2016 election intelligence and called for prosecution of Georgia election workers after an FBI document raid.

  • On Thursday, Trump posted on Truth Social, calling for the arrest of former President Barack Obama and urging prosecution of Georgia election workers, citing unsubstantiated claims.
  • Amid administration probes, authorities executed a warrant in Fulton County involving the FBI and high-profile officials on Wednesday.
  • President Trump launched a posting spree on Truth Social that included over 50 posts resharing memes, screenshots, and videos accusing Obama of `treason` and reposts from far-right host Watters.
  • Critics urged lowering the national temperature after recent violence, as Obama’s spokesperson called the allegations 'outrageous' and said `These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction`.
  • Trump's decade-long rivalry with Obama has produced similar accusations, with Trump repeatedly falsely claiming he won Georgia and pressuring Raffensperger during the 2016 and 2020 election disputes.
