Trump says Obama and Clinton tried to overthrow his presidency: Video

President Donald Trump on Tuesday, July 22, claimed that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and other top Democrats tried to overthrow his presidency, calling it “the biggest scandal in the history of our country.”

Trump made the remarks during a joint press conference with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in Washington. He accused the former president of leading what he described as a “sedacious” effort to remove him from office, saying, “They were trying to lead a coup.”

His comments come days after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard echoed similar accusations. Speaking over the weekend, Gabbard said the Obama administration had engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years-long coup,” referring to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

That investigation, led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, found no criminal conspiracy between Trump’s team and Russia, although it documented repeated contacts between the two and pointed to potential obstruction of justice.
