US President Donald Trump heaped praise on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at a recent White House event, calling her "the hottest one in the room" and crediting her with unearthing what he described as definitive proof that Barack Obama led a conspiracy to rig the 2016 election.
“Oh, where’s Tulsi? She’s, like, hotter than everybody,” Trump said, gesturing to Gabbard. “She has all the documents. She found out that Barack Hussein Obama led a group of people and they cheated in the elections.” He added, “They cheated without question. It’s not even a quote.”
“She told me, ‘You’ve seen nothing yet,’” Trump said. “We’re very proud of you, Tulsi. They cheated so badly… and it shouldn’t have been a loss. It was a big victory.”
Gabbard’s newly released report on the Russia probe claims to present Obama-era communications that, according to Trump, prove there was no manipulation of vote totals. While that distinction has been publicly acknowledged before, the report implies that the absence of vote tampering undermines the broader finding of Russian interference in the 2016 election—something several bipartisan investigations have long upheld.
Trump’s revived allegations target a familiar list of foes: Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey and James Clapper, none of whom have been charged with any wrongdoing in connection with the Russia investigation. He accused Obama of being the “ringleader” in what he described as an attempted coup.
The Obama camp issued a rare rebuke. “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,” said spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush.
Gabbard’s report follows a pattern of efforts by Trump allies to challenge the conclusions of earlier probes, including the 2017 intelligence community assessment and special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings. Though Mueller’s report identified numerous contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russian figures, it did not conclude a criminal conspiracy.
The timing of the report's release has also raised eyebrows, as it coincides with renewed attention on the Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump dismissed the matter as a “witch hunt,” but his own base continues to demand transparency, especially after revelations about his past association with Epstein.

Trump: Where's Tulsi? She's like hotter than everybody… because she found out Barack Hussein Obama led a group of people and they cheated in the election. Would you say there is even a little question there Tulsi? She says no.
