Gabbard declassified a 2017 House report targeting Obama and intelligence officials over alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said: "There's a lot of allegations on the table—our job is go and follow each of those trails and to find out the truth."

Democrats say the White House is trying to distract from its decision not to publish files relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

The director of national intelligence intensified attacks on assessments about Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election.

A newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report challenges the 2016 US Intelligence Community Assessment that claimed Russia favored Donald Trump in the presidential election.

A spokesperson for Obama said that while the office “does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,” the Trump administration’s new “bizarre” and “ridiculous” allegations warranted one.

Tulsi Gabbard disputes findings that Russia interfered in 2016 election to help Trump, which previous investigations have concluded.
