The head of the US National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, said that former President Barack Obama could be prosecuted for treason and attempted coup. He is accused of falsifying intelligence information about the "Russian footprint" in the 2016 elections.

"We will hand over all documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI for further investigation," Gabbard said at a briefing at the White House. She stressed that the final decision on bringing Obama to criminal responsibility will be made by the US Department of Justice.

When asked about a possible prison term for the former president, Gabbard replied that all participants in the story of Russian interference in the elections should be held accountable.

The head of intelligence also stated that Russian interference in the 2016 elections was impossible. In her opinion, Moscow had neither the desire nor the opportunity to influence the outcome of the vote.
