Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, presented claims connecting Barack Obama to treasonous actions regarding the 2016 election. Gabbard cited intelligence assessments stating that Russia had no intent or capability to influence the election outcome. CNN's Jim Sciutto interjected during her presentation, correcting her by emphasizing that the intelligence assessments did not claim Russia changed the election results. Fact-checker Daniel Dale joined to address the claims being made, indicating confusion and misinterpretation of the original assessments regarding Russian involvement.
DNI TULSI GABBARD: Multiple intelligence community assessments released in the months leading up to the November 2016 election concluded that Russia had neither the intent nor capability to impact the outcome of the U.S. Election.
JIM SCIUTTO: ...the assessment never said that Russia changed the outcome of the election access to voting systems votes etcetera.
