Obama's Former Presidency Immune Privilege Challenged by Karoline Leavitt Encounter
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has accused former President Barack Obama and officials in his administration of manufacturing evidence suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. During a press conference this week, Leavitt claimed that the lies about Trump's ties to Russia led to impeachments and the division of the country. She reiterated that the President wants all those who betrayed the country and the Constitution to be held accountable. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, previously made similar accusations, stating that the conclusion that Russia tried to influence the election one way or the other was manufactured by Obama's administration. Gabbard also claimed that Obama and others took part in a "treasonous conspiracy." Leavitt also accused Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, and Tim Kaine of making false claims that Donald Trump was an asset of Russia. She criticized journalists for not questioning these accusations against Trump. In addition, Leavitt expressed her displeasure with the media when asked about potential prosecution of former President Barack Obama. When asked whether the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity would make Trump's wish to prosecute Obama impossible, Leavitt did not directly answer but lashed out at the media. Multiple intelligence agencies have determined that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election. However, Leavitt's claims point towards a deeper and more sinister manipulation of evidence by the Obama administration. Leavitt mentioned that not enough journalists pushed Adam Schiff to provide evidence for his claims. She also accused major Democrat Party officials in Washington D.C. of spreading lies about Trump's ties to Russia. Trump himself claimed from the White House this week that Obama is guilty of "treason." Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in the 2016 election, referred to Trump as a puppet for Putin. Leavitt stated that it has been 10 years since the alleged fraud against the country and the Constitution occurred. She expressed that the report declassified by the director should be reviewed by journalists in the room. The Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that presidents have "absolute immunity" from prosecution for official acts taken as president. However, Leavitt did not elaborate on how this ruling would affect Trump's wish to prosecute Obama. This latest accusation from the White House is sure to add fuel to the ongoing political divide in the United States. The truth behind these claims remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the political landscape is poised for further upheaval.
