Trump: Obama Obstructed The 2016 Election

The Hill reports:



President Trump on Monday accused former President Obama of colluding or obstructing with the actions he took during the 2016 presidential election. His tweet comes after Trump in an interview that aired last week criticized Obama over Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, accusing the former president of doing “nothing” before the election.

“Well I just heard today for the first time that Obama knew about Russia a long time before the election, and he did nothing about it. But nobody wants to talk about that,” Trump said in an interview airing in full Sunday on “Fox and Friends Weekend.”

The Obama administration is facing fresh criticism after The Washington Post reported that Obama was slow and cautious in responding to Russian election interference. Some officials were reportedly wary of taking action before the election, which was dominated by Trump making claims on the campaign trail of the election being “rigged” against him.
