Trump Hails Harrison Fields and Tulsi Gabbard Over 2016 Election Fraud Allegations

United States President Donald Trump commended Special Assistant Harrison Fields and U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for her recent remarks alleging election fraud in the 2016 presidential race. Gabbard's claims, which target the administration of former President Barack Obama, have reignited political controversy.

“Great job by young and talented Harrison Fields on Fox News. The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the ‘thugs’ who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!” he added.

Gabbard, in her statement, accused Obama and several of his top officials of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” designed to sabotage Trump’s 2016 victory.

According to her, newly declassified intelligence documents support the claim that national security officials under Obama manipulated and politicised intelligence reports about Russian election interference in an effort to delegitimise Trump and “subvert the will of the American people.”

“For months preceding the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community shared a consensus view: Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack US elections. But weeks after President Trump’s historic 2016 victory defeating Hillary Clinton, everything changed,” Gabbard wrote on X.

Citing intelligence assessments both before and after the election, the documents released by her office suggest that Russia was not believed to have sought to alter the vote through cyberattacks.

However, Gabbard claims the narrative abruptly changed following a December 2016 White House meeting. From that point, she alleges, Obama-era officials began advancing claims of Russian interference—relying heavily on unverified sources, including the Steele dossier.

Calling for full accountability, Gabbard urged legal action against those she accused. “No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” she stated.

She specifically named former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former FBI Director James Comey as key figures in what she claims was a coordinated effort to undermine the democratic process.
