Obama responds to Trump's accusations, former president's spokesman:

President Donald Trump's accusations of treason and sedition against former President Barack Obama are "outlandish" and "ridiculous," an Obama spokesman said.

"Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office normally does not dignify the nonsense and continued misinformation emanating from this White House with a response. But these allegations are outrageous enough to merit one. These outlandish accusations are ridiculous and a feeble attempt at distraction," said Patrick Rodenbush, the former president's spokesman.

Earlier, Trump declared his intention to “go after people” for what he says were attempts to interfere in the 2016 election by claiming that Russia was seeking to influence the outcome. Multiple, sweeping investigations have concluded that Russia attempted to interfere in the election in Trump’s favor.

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after the people," Trump said in the Oval Office, where he was hosting the Philippine president.

Trump insisted that Obama was guilty of crimes for what he called his role in using intelligence as a political weapon, calling the former Democratic president the "ringleader" of the alleged conspiracy.

He appeared to be referring to declassified information released last week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which she claimed was evidence of a “treasonous plot” by senior Obama administration officials to fabricate the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

Obama's representative said nothing in the documents suggests that a 2017 intelligence report on the matter was wrong.

"Nothing in the document released last week undermines the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were confirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio," Rodenbush said.
