On Wednesday’s The View, Behar talked of Trump’s claim that his predecessor, Barack Obama, was guilty of treason, accusing his team of cooking the intelligence as a pretext for the Russian interference investigation in 2026. Through a spokesman, Obama called such claims “bizarre” and a “weak attempt at a distraction.”

The White House attacked “The View" co-host Joy Behar in a statement on Wednesday by calling out the show’s low ratings and saying it could be canceled.
