President Donald Trump escalated his long-standing criticisms of his predecessor on January 29, 2026, by publicly calling for the arrest of former President Barack Obama in a series of posts on his Truth Social platform.

In series of posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump accused Obama of orchestrating a โ€œcoup attempt.โ€

According to him, Obama allegedly directed CIA agents to manufacture false intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The posts claimed this was done to undermine Trumpโ€™s โ€œLANDSLIDEโ€ victory and erode public confidence in American democracy.

One amplified post, which closely matches the content circulated online, stated that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard had released โ€œHUNDREDS OF BOMBSHELL RUSSIAGATE DOCUMENTSโ€ proving Obamaโ€™s involvement.

It referenced Fox News host Jesse Wattersโ€™ comment that โ€œwhatever happens to these guys is not revengeโ€ฆ itโ€™s accountability,โ€ before concluding with the emphatic demand: โ€œARREST OBAMA NOW!โ€

The posts reflects earlier claims from July 2025, when Gabbard declassified documents alleging that Obama-era officials politicized intelligence to push a false narrative of Russian efforts to aid Trumpโ€™s election.

Gabbard described it as a โ€œtreasonous conspiracyโ€ and referred the matter to the Department of Justice, though no charges have been filed against Obama.

Trump has repeatedly amplified these assertions, including sharing AI-generated videos depicting Obamaโ€™s arrest and labeling the actions as โ€œtreason.โ€

However, independent reviews and fact-checks have described the declassified materials as rehashing prior partisan interpretations.
