NEW DELHI: United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, in her capacity as a commentator on national security, has made explosive claims alleging a seditious conspiracy linked to former President Barack Obama.
Here it is:
Seditious conspiracy — captured on videotape in just thirty-eight seconds.

Gabbard stated in a video clip:
“Barack Obama ordered the overthrow of the United States government after the 2016 election was done — after the American people said no, we want Donald Trump to be our commander in chief, not Hillary Clinton.”
She further compared the alleged actions to historic political scandals, asserting:
“Watergate was child’s play compared to the crimes Hussein has committed.”
The clip has since circulated widely on social media, drawing polarized reactions from political commentators, historians, and analysts. Some have called for verification and context, while others are debating the gravity of her statements and their potential legal and political ramifications.
Gabbard’s remarks underscore ongoing tensions in the political discourse surrounding the 2016 election and the post-election period. No corroborating evidence has yet been presented publicly to support claims of a direct overthrow attempt by the Obama administration.
Political analysts note that such statements are likely to fuel further partisan debate as the U.S. approaches the 2026 midterm elections. Legal experts emphasize that allegations of sedition require substantial proof, and caution against conflating opinion or speculation with verified criminal activity.
At present, the Obama camp has not issued an official response to Gabbard’s statements.
