The Justice Department has formed a "strike force" to assess the evidence publicized by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard relating to former President Barack Obama and his top national security and intelligence officials' alleged involvement in the origins of the Trump–Russia collusion narrative.

The director of national intelligence gave the Justice Department little warning before she demanded an investigation.

Ned Price, former State Department spokesman in the Biden administration, says on Meet the Press NOW that the Trump administration’s calls to investigate former President Obama are an attempt to draw attention away from the Epstein files.

Gabbard’s comments come amid the declassification of a trove of documents from the U.S. intelligence community that claim the Obama administration politicized intelligence.

Barack Obama is going after President Donald Trump’s all-important congressional majority as the White House attempts to embroil him in its bizarre Russia conspiracy.
