Grappling with a pandemic that has killed more than 80,000 Americans and facing a November re-election challenge by Obama's vice president Joe Biden, Trump relaunched his attacks on his White House predecessor
- U.S. President Donald Trump has accused his predecessor Barack Obama of seeking to damage his presidency, repeatedly referring to it as"Obamagate" but offering no details.Trump has not made clear what he is accusing Obama of doing but the allegations appear to focus on law enforcement actions taken at the end of Obama's presidency. Trump pushed the allegations during a blitz of 120 tweets and retweets on May 10, Mother's Day.
Trump's retweets that day suggested that what he calls Obamagate, a play on the word Watergate, a Nixon presidency scandal, centers largely on an FBI investigation into Russian interference in the November 2016 election which Trump won. Although Russia denied meddling, a bipartisan U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report released in April concurred with the spy agencies' findings. It found the intelligence analysts who made those assessments"were under no political pressure to reach specific conclusions."Trump launched his storm of tweets after the Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, sought to drop a criminal case that U.S.
Prosecutors said that in conversation with Kislyak, Flynn discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia and asked him to help delay a U.N. vote seen as damaging to Israel, a move contrary to Obama's policies in December 2016.Flynn's lawyers argue he was ambushed as part of a plot by biased FBI agents. Many former law enforcement officials have said the FBI acted properly in questioning Flynn and that Barr is protecting Trump's friends and associates.
When pressed by the reporter to name a criminal offense, Trump said:"You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours."
