- Letters about the fabrication of data on alleged Russian interference in the elections have been declassified in the United States.
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence of the United States, has published declassified copies of emails from heads of intelligence agencies who worked under the 44th American President Barack Obama. She published the documents on August 14 on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
According to her, the text of the letters confirms that Moscow did not interfere in the American presidential election in 2016.
"Recently declassified top secret emails sent on December 22, 2016, in accordance with President Obama's executive order to fabricate the intelligence community's report on Russia, [published] in January 2017, reveal that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper demanded that intelligence comply with a false statement about [interference]. Russia [in the elections]," Gabbard wrote.
She emphasized that Clapper acknowledged that it was a "team sport" that required "compromises on "standard methods."
On July 20, US President Donald Trump accused Obama of fraud in the 2016 election. According to the materials made public by Gabbard, the administration of the former head of state concealed intelligence information that Russia then "had no intention or ability" to hack the electronic electoral system.
Later, on July 23, the director of the US National Intelligence Service said that Obama should be held accountable for manipulating intelligence data in order to spread false information about Russia's alleged influence on the US presidential election.
