After the senior officials of the Obama administration orchestrated a coordinated attempt to sabotage the electoral victory of President Donald Trump in 2016, the GOP legislators call for transparency and responsibility, while their democratic colleagues question the time and credibility of the new claims.

Trump’s national intelligence director Tulli Gabbard published a mine of intelligence documents from last week that Gabbard said show that former president Barack Obama and some of his closest advisers have promoted a “artificial story” that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections to sabotage Trump.

However, the Democrats insisted that Congress surveys already prove that Russia helped Trump in the 2016 elections, while questioning the allegations calendar due to the pressure on Trump to publish more Epstein files.

“It is deeply dishonest, and it is dangerous,” Texas Ted Cruz Republican Senator told Fox News Digital, in reference to the allegations of Gabbard. “What I exhorted the administration to do was initiate radical transparency, to make everyone public and to expose how the Obama administration knew what it was doing – that they knew they were lying. I think anyone who violated the law must be held responsible.”

Dni Gabbard claims that “ deep state actors’ did not want Trump-Russia’s information to see the day of the day ”

But California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff told Fox News Digital that he thought the allegations are theoretical, highlighting the report of the former FBI director Robert Mueller, who, according to him, “documented Russia’s efforts to help denigrate Hillary Clinton, who gave a boost to the Trump campaign.

“I think what Gabbard and his staff do is dishonest,” he added.

However, Oklahoma republican senator James Lankford argued that it has long been established “that the Steele file was” clearly a Clinton factory “and that the Clinton campaign was in fact” cooperating with the Russians to be able to really use the Russians to be able to interfere with President Trump’s campaign “.

“What Tulsi Gabbard is withdrawing is to say:” What is the depth of the White House they knew on the Steele file, they knew it was a Clinton document. When did they start to push this and what official resources they used to try to add validity to this to be able to underestimate the elections? “” He used Lankford.

“We had a long way to go again, but it is good to be able to bring all the information out, to be able to remove it and to say:” Let everyone watch it and let the fleas fall where they can. “”

Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla., Said he thought that Gabbard was doing the right thing, also expressing the hope of extreme transparency in the midst of alarming allegations.

“Part of what this election was, it was transparency and government responsibility. And that’s exactly what (Gabbard) is trying to do, and that’s exactly what Trump administration is trying to do,” said Scott. “Let’s go to the facts. Let’s follow where the facts are. If someone has done something, we will keep them responsible. So, I think the right process is what is happening.”

Senator Elissa SlotkinD-Mich., Former CIA analyst, questioned the calendar of information by Gabbard of information, saying that even his 10-year nephew understood the movement as “a Dodge and a distraction” to look away from the controversy during Epstein. In the midst of the release of Gabbard’s document at the start of last week, Trump faced calls within the GOP for the publication of more documents and information relating to the disgrace financial Jeffrey Epstein.

“President Trump had four years in his first mandate, and all the time since then, to go after this issue, and he chooses the same day that his name appears in Epstein files to talk about Barack Obama,” Slotkin told Fox News Digital. “The Americans are not stupid. As, we get it. Trump wanted to talk about something different. I have to see these reports, and see how they come. … I like to read and do my own assessment. But the timing cannot be missed. The president tries to dodge and distract you.”

Although partisan affiliation can play a role in the way the legislators and the public have visualized the allegations of Obama published by Gabbard, Senator John Boozman, R-Ark., Said that he thought that the problem “transcends” party affiliation.

“Republican, democrat, I mean, you know, it’s something that transcends all this. It’s really important,” Boozman told Fox News Digital. “I hope that we will have open transparency so that people understand what is going on. And anything, I am sure that the congress will be involved, and certainly the Ministry of Justice is involved. So, I think they are all good things.”
