Tulsi Gabbard Demands Patel and Bondi Investigate and Prosecute Obama Officials: ‘It Is Their Responsibility’
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard demanded that the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute officials from the Obama administration.
The Trump administration has been reeling for the past two weeks after the DOJ concluded that deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list and did not blackmail powerful people who may have engaged in criminal activity. Those findings were a far cry from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claim back in February about Epstein’s client list “sitting on my desk.” Her department also declined to release files in the case, which she and FBI Director Kash Patel had claimed contained explosive and damaging information about notable figures.
President Donald Trump has defended his administration from critics, including some in his MAGA base, which he suggested are “pretty bad people” for continuing to focus on Epstein.
In recent days, Gabbard has been on a mission to refocus the discussion on the 2016 presidential election, which she alleged was marred by a “treasonous conspiracy” by Obama officials to thwart Trump’s candidacy and subsequent presidency. Multiple U.S. intelligence agencies and a Republican-led panel found that Russia attempted to intervene in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf, a conclusion that Gabbard disputes.
Gabbard appeared on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News, where she alleged a massive cover-up by intelligence officials in the Obama administration.
“There was direct intent to cover up the truth about what occurred and who was responsible, and the broad network of how this seditious conspiracy was concocted and who exactly was responsible for carrying it out,” Gabbard claimed.
“So at the end of the day, we need to look at Pam Bondi?” host Maria Bartiromo asked. “Is that the person who, at the end of the day, is gonna bring us accountability. Pam Bondi?”
Gabbard responded in the affirmative and took the highly unusual step of publicly calling on fellow administration officials to take action.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI director Kash Patel,” the director responded. “It is their responsibility to gather all of the evidence, both that we have released, the facts that have already been known previously, the information that will continue to come out, and move forward with this prosecution and these indictments.”
