Senators Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn are calling for a special counsel to investigate whether former President Obama manipulated national security matters to influence the 2016 election in favor of Hillary Clinton. This request follows the release of a document by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that questions Russian interference in the election but does not dispute it. Gabbard has also released reports alleging that the Obama administration manipulated intelligence related to Russian interference. Cornyn stated that appointing a special counsel would serve the country well, while an Obama spokesperson dismissed claims of treason and called them outrageous. The administration is releasing documents to shift focus from the Jeffrey Epstein case as lawmakers issue subpoenas for more information.
