President Donald Trump on Sunday posted an AI-generated video depicting former President Barack Obama being arrested, in response to coup claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
The video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social platform, shows Obama declaring, “no one is above the law,” followed by a fabricated scene of him being handcuffed and jailed, soundtracked by the 1970s hit “YMCA.” The footage was created using clips from a 2016 White House meeting between the two leaders.
Gabbard, speaking on Fox News, alleged that Obama’s administration orchestrated a “years-long coup” to stop Trump from taking office. “Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people,” she said.
Gabbard also referred James Comey and James Clapper for prosecution, claiming they “manufactured” intelligence about Russian election interference.
Senator Mark Warner condemned her remarks, stating, “It is sadly not surprising that DNI Gabbard… is once again weaponizing her position.”
