Barack Obama claps back at Donald Trump after his "bizarre allegations" regarding the 2016 presidential elections.
According to NBC News, the former president’s office on Tuesday, July 22, fired back at US President Trump for his “treason” and election rigging allegations.
Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush said, “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response.”
“But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," he added.
This came after the Republican president on Tuesday avoided reporters questions regarding the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and instead shifted focus to the former Black American president, accusing him of “treason.”
The 79-year-old president told reporters that it is time to go after Obama and other people who stole the 2016 elections.
He asserted, “What they did in 2016 and 2020 is very criminal. It’s criminal at the highest level. So that’s really the thing you should be talking about... This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election.”
This came after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe last week claimed that the Obama administration manipulated intelligence to win the 2016 presidential election.
