Here’s a clear and structured summary of the July 23, 2025 White House press briefing held by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard: we’ll see in details only the part related to Tulsi Gabbard.
🟦 Introduction: This is not about Party Politics
Tulsi Gabbard opened her remarks by saying this is not about Democrats vs. Republicans. In her words:
“This has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic. And American voters having faith that the votes cast will count.”
She emphasized that the evidence they were about to share concerns all Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
🟥 The Central Claim: Obama ordered a false Intelligence Narrative
Gabbard stated unequivocally that:
“There is irrefutable evidence that President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.”
She claimed this fabricated report was meant to sell the American people on a narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win — a narrative she said was never supported by facts.
📂 What the Declassified Report shows, according to Gabbard
Gabbard referenced the newly declassified 2020 House Intelligence Committee oversight report, saying it lays out step-by-step how the Obama administration:
- “Manufactured findings from shoddy sources.”
- “Suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims.”
- “Disobeyed intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people.”
According to her, these officials then worked hand-in-hand with their “partners in the media” to launch what she called a “years-long coup” against President Trump.
📉 What Russia was actually doing, according to the Intel
Gabbard said the real intelligence at the time showed that Russia had no preference for Trump or Clinton.
In fact, she claimed that Vladimir Putin held back releasing the most damaging info on Clinton because he expected her to win:
“Putin held back from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election… Instead, planning to release it after the election to weaken what Moscow viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency.”
This, she said, contradicts the claim made in the January 6, 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia “aspired to help Trump.”
🔍 What the Russians allegedly had on Hillary Clinton
Gabbard claimed that Russia possessed intelligence that included:
- Documents showing State Department officials offered increased funding to religious organizations in exchange for their support of Hillary’s campaign.
- Evidence of Clinton campaign favoritism and patronage toward State Department employees.
- Internal DNC emails describing Hillary’s “psycho-emotional problems”, with mood swings, aggression, and reliance on heavy tranquilizers.
Despite the severity of this alleged material, Russia did not release it before the election — something Gabbard sees as evidence they weren’t trying to help Trump.
📌 What went wrong inside the Intelligence Community
Gabbard laid the blame squarely on then-CIA Director John Brennan, who she says:
- “Mischaracterized intelligence.”
- Relied on the debunked Steele dossier despite knowing it was false.
- Suppressed reliable intelligence that contradicted the official narrative.
She said:
“The Intelligence Community excluded significant intelligence… that contradicted the key findings on Putin’s alleged support for Trump.”
And that when senior CIA officers objected, Brennan overruled them, reportedly saying:
“Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?”
🧾 The process was politicized from the start
Gabbard emphasized that the intelligence assessment was not typical. It was ordered directly by Obama, she said, and produced by just five analysts, with one principal drafter. She described this as:
“Not something that occurs in the normal path of producing an intelligence community assessment.”
She said the process was highly unusual, tightly controlled, and directed by political appointees like Brennan.
📉 Contradictions in the public narrative
Gabbard pointed out that in December 2016, intelligence briefings to Congress and internal agency reports showed:
- No evidence that Putin supported Trump.
- No impact on vote counts from any foreign or criminal actor.
But in the ICA ordered by Obama and published just weeks later (January 2017), the report suddenly claimed, with “high confidence,” that Putin wanted to help Trump win.
Gabbard asked:
“Why was that intelligence pulled and suppressed?”
She suggested the Obama administration withheld the December 8 Presidential Daily Brief that showed no interference in vote counts — allegedly so Trump wouldn’t see it.
📜 The role of the Steele Dossier
Despite public denials by Brennan, Gabbard said the Steele dossier was used in the ICA. She stated:
“Contrary to what Brennan told the public, the dossier was referenced in the main body text of the ICA and detailed in a two-page annex.”
She called the dossier a “politically motivated, manufactured document” paid for by the Clinton campaign.
💣 The accusation: a coup, not a mistake
Tulsi Gabbard directly accused the Obama administration of:
- Manufacturing intelligence
- Misleading Congress
- Using the media to spread lies
- And trying to sabotage the incoming Trump administration
She said:
“The expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described as a years-long coup and a treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our Republic, and an attempt to undermine President Trump’s administration.”
⚖️ Accountability and legal action
Gabbard confirmed that:
“We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this.”
When asked directly if this included President Obama, she answered:
“Correct. The evidence… directly points to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.”
She did not personally call it “treason” in legal terms but said:
“I am not an attorney… but the intent and the result are clear.”
📚 Final message
Tulsi Gabbard closed with a direct call to the American public and the media:
“Don’t take my word for it. Read the nearly 200 pages of declassified documents. It’s all there.”
She said that more whistleblowers are coming forward now that they feel safe, and insisted:
“We can show the truth. The accountability needs to occur to restore trust in our democracy.”
Who Is Tulsi Gabbard?
Tulsi Gabbard is a U.S. Army Reserve officer, Iraq War veteran, and former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii. Known for her non-interventionist foreign policy views, she ran as an outsider in the 2020 Democratic primaries. In 2022, she left the Democratic Party, citing its shift toward authoritarianism and war. In early 2025, she was appointed Director of National Intelligence (DNI) under President Donald Trump.
Most people have no idea just how serious the danger is for Tulsi Gabbard right now.
This isn’t political theatre—she’s risking her life by going head-to-head with the Deep State. She’s not being vague. She’s naming individuals, exposing corruption at the highest levels, and refusing to back down.
She openly challenged Barack Obama.
Not merely criticizing his presidency, but holding him responsible for building a system that has deceived the American people, abused federal authority, and gone after anyone who stood in its way.
Under Obama, agencies like the FBI, CIA, IRS, and DOJ became weapons—used to protect political allies and crush opponents. He approved surveillance on Trump. He pushed the false Russia narrative. And he presided over a nation being torn apart, manipulated, and morally compromised.
While the media shields him from scrutiny, Tulsi Gabbard had the courage to say what others wouldn’t dare.
That takes a special kind of bravery—the kind that carries real risks.
She understands the threat she faces. It’s not hypothetical. It’s real. Power at that level doesn’t give up easily. And those who challenge it rarely escape unharmed.
That’s why we pray for her. Truly. Not just empty words, but sincere prayer—for her safety, her strength, and her clarity of mind.
