Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard baselessly accused former President Barack Obama of manipulating intelligence on Russia and the 2016 election to undermine President Donald Trump’s first term (“Gabbard uses surprise White House appearance to attack Trump’s enemies on the Russia investigation,” July 23).
Her bogus claim could have — and should have — been refuted by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio, then a Florida senator, sat on a bipartisan U.S. Senate committee that investigated and concluded that Russia, in fact, interfered with the 2016 election to get Trump elected.
Rubio has never said anything to dispute Gabbard’s lies about former President Obama.
America needs Rubio and all members of Trump’s Cabinet to be people of integrity instead of sycophants.
