Trump accuses Obama of treason

President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of "treason," blaming him, without providing evidence, for leading an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign.

While Trump has frequently attacked Obama by name, the Republican president has not since returning to office in January gone this far in pointing the finger at his Democratic predecessor with allegations of criminal action.

Backers of conspiracy theories about Epstein have urged Trump, who socialized with the disgraced financier during the 1990s and early 2000s, to release investigative files related to the case. Trump, asked in the Oval Office about Epstein, quickly pivoted into an attack on Obama and Clinton.
