In a statement issued Tuesday, Barack Obama's office refuted claims that recent intelligence documents undermined the findings of Russia's supposed influence on the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The document affirms that while Russia aimed to affect the election, no vote manipulation occurred, according to Obama's representatives.
Meanwhile, current President Donald Trump has accused his predecessor of treason. Trump alleges that Obama orchestrated a campaign to wrongfully associate him with Russian influence as a ploy to undermine his 2016 presidential campaign.
Obama's office described Trump's allegations as 'bizarre' and 'ridiculous,' suggesting they serve as a weak attempt to distract from more pressing issues.
