Gabbard Refers Obama-Era Officials to DOJ as Trump Shares AI Arrest Deepfake

UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting Obama’s arrest amid claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleging a conspiracy to undermine Trump’s 2016 win.

  • President Donald Trump reignited a debate on July 23, 2025, from the Oval Office, alleging wrongdoing by Barack Obama and others related to the 2016 election.
  • This came after a report published the previous Friday by Tulsi Gabbard, who oversees national intelligence, alleging that officials from the Obama administration fabricated intelligence related to Russian interference.
  • The report argued that emails showed no state election system manipulation, yet several investigations, including the Senate Intelligence Committee, confirmed Russian interference in 2016.
  • A video circulating falsely claiming the U.S. Supreme Court ordered deportation of Trump's family originated as a deepfake manipulated from Jorge Ramos's December 13, 2024 farewell broadcast.
  • Legal experts have dismissed the allegations against Obama as lacking credibility, and no decision has been announced regarding criminal charges or subpoenas related to Gabbard's referral, leaving the situation mired in political debate.
