President Trump n launched into a series of accusations, including one which stated that Obama was first-ever President to criticize his successor's ministration and ar, by a right-wing podcaster Buck Sexton who claimed that Obama ministration, during transition period, me attempts to sabot Trump's ministration. Trump later said that it was " biggest political crime in American history, by far!".

Trump's accusations have only increased after two Republican critics of Russia investigation, Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, disclosed a list of names of Obama ministration officials who y say may have received Flynn’s identity from intelligence reports in 2016 and 2017. Among names is Trump’s Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, who was vice president when Russia probe began.

Biden and or officials h full authority to seek name of unidentified American in reports — it turned out to be Flynn — and did so through proper channels, according to Trump ministration documents. Rar than reveal any actual wrongdoing, release of information by president’s allies seems designed to create suspicion around Biden and or senior Democrats as vember election approaches.
