Obama blasts 'bizarre' Trump claim of 2016 election 'treason'

Former President Barack Obama criticized current President Donald Trump for his "bizarre" claim of "treason" related to the 2016 election, where Trump alleged Obama tried to undermine his victory by linking him to Russian election interference. Trump's accusation stemmed from a recent report accusing Obama of a "years-long coup against President Trump." Obama's spokesman dismissed Trump's claims as false and a distraction, emphasizing the widely accepted conclusion that Russia sought to influence the election but did not manipulate votes. The back-and-forth between the two leaders unfolded amid questions about the late Jeffrey Epstein and a meeting between Trump and Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
