A spokesperson for the former president called Trump's claim that Obama tried to rig the 2016 election "a weak attempt at a distraction."

Trump called unabating interest in sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a “witch hunt” and insisted that it’s his predecessor who deserves more scrutiny.

He was referring to claims from National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe accusing officials from the Obama administration of conspiring to undermine the legitimacy of Trump winning the 2016 election. Gabbard tweeted on Friday that she planned to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
