Former President Barack Obama denied President Donald Trump's claims of a "treasonous conspiracy" involving the Russia investigation, calling the accusations "bizarre and baseless." Trump accused Obama of plotting to undermine his 2016 campaign through the use of the Steele dossier and alleged Russian interference claims. Obama's office dismissed these claims as "ridiculous" distractions. The controversy stems from intelligence reports and recent declassifications that Trump supporters say cast doubt on the extent of Russian interference, a view rejected by critics and legal experts.
