Could Barack Obama Be Arrested?
Tulsi Gabbard, in a series of declassified documents in July 2025 claimed that the Obama administration fabricated intelligence depending on the discredited Steele dossier, to falsely portray Russian interference as helping Trump’s election win over Hillary Clinton.
Tulsi described the allegations as a “prolonged coup” accusing Obama of treason. She even forwarded evidence to the DOJ for the potential prosecution of former President Obama and others; during the White House briefing she called them “irrefutable”
However, the Department of Justice found the evidence insufficient for the arrest. DOJ further reported that the Gabbard’s claims do not amount to new criminal evidence.
As of March 2026, no charges have been filled against Obama or other named official such as John Brennan or James Clapper.
