00:00Dr. Gabbard, thank you. So just two questions, but to begin on that, the president yesterday,
00:07you've inferred that the former president helped lead a coup. Based on what you now see,
00:12do you believe President Obama is guilty of treason?
00:15I'm leaving the criminal charges to the Department of Justice. I am not an attorney,
00:20but as I've said previously, when you look at the intent behind creating a fake manufactured
00:26intelligence document that directly contradicts multiple assessments that were created by the
00:34intelligence community, the expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described
00:40as a years-long coup and a treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our republic,
00:46and an attempt to undermine President Trump's administration.
00:48The Senate Intelligence Committee spent several years looking into this and unanimously agreed
00:53in a bipartisan fashion. Secretary of State Rubio was a member of that committee,
00:57that there was no political interference. There was a years-long Justice Department
01:01investigation into this as well that also concluded no political interference. So help us
01:06from a 50,000-foot level explain what do you now have that refutes those two conclusions?
01:13Sure. I will encourage you. In my role as the director of national intelligence,
01:18my job, again, as I said when I came into this role, was to make sure that
01:22we are telling the truth to the American people and that we are ensuring that the intelligence
01:28community is not being politicized. So I'm not asking you to take my word for it. I'm asking you
01:34and the media to conduct honest journalism and the American people to see for yourself in the documents
01:40that we've released now close to 200 pages that point in multiple references, multiple examples,
01:46to include comments that have been made by senior intelligence professionals who are still working
01:53within these agencies today that confirm the conclusions that we have drawn, that President Obama
01:59directed an intelligence community assessment to be created to further this contrived false narrative that ultimately led to a years-long coup to try to undermine President Trump's presidency.
02:12And is your belief that those two previous investigations missed that or covered it up?
02:17I'm telling you to look at the evidence, look at the evidence, and you will know the truth.
