Ukraine’s armed forces have declared that Russia’s much-publicized summer offensive failed to secure full control of any major Ukrainian city, despite Moscow’s claims of significant territorial gains. Russian Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov stated that since March, Russian forces had captured over 3,500 square kilometers of territory and taken control of 149 settlements.

Trump Accuses Obama of Treason Amid Renewed Russia Probe Allegations

In a dramatic escalation of political rhetoric, President Donald Trump has accused former President Barack Obama of "treason" over the 2016 Russia election interference investigation. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed—without presenting evidence—that Obama led a conspiracy to falsely link him to Russian operatives in an effort to sabotage his presidential campaign.

Trump's remarks were prompted by recent comments from his intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard, who declassified documents she claims reveal a “treasonous conspiracy” by top Obama-era officials. Gabbard has threatened to refer those officials to the Justice Department for prosecution.

Obama’s spokesperson swiftly dismissed the allegations as “bizarre” and “a weak attempt at distraction,” emphasizing that multiple bipartisan investigations have affirmed Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election but found no evidence of vote manipulation or wrongdoing by Obama.

The accusations come as Trump faces mounting pressure from his conservative base to release more information about the Jeffrey Epstein case. Critics suggest the treason claims may be a strategic diversion from that controversy.

This latest attack marks a new low in Trump’s long-standing feud with Obama, reviving grievances from his first term and intensifying partisan tensions as the political landscape braces for further fallout.
