On July 29, 2025, the Trump administration escalated its focus on former President Barack Obama, announcing the formation of a task force to investigate allegations of a “treasonous conspiracy” related to the 2016 election. The U.S. Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pamela Bondi, launched the initiative following the release of approximately 300 pages of declassified documents by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. These documents, made public over the past week, suggest Obama and his administration influenced intelligence assessments to falsely link Russia’s election interference to Trump’s campaign. The task force aims to examine these claims, with Gabbard referring the matter to the FBI for potential criminal review, though no specific charges have been filed. The documents include notes from 2016 intelligence briefings, with over 50 officials named, but no evidence of a direct “client list” or blackmail material has been confirmed. This follows a July 23 announcement of a similar task force, with 1,200 FBI agents involved in the review process. The move coincides with ongoing pressure from Trump supporters to release Jeffrey Epstein files, with the administration promising an additional 1,000 pages by September 2025. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer scheduled a deposition with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, for August 11, 2025, at her Florida prison, where she serves a 20-year sentence. Public interest remains high, with a recent poll showing 69% of Americans suspect concealed facts about Epstein’s associates, though the Obama investigation remains separate. The DOJ has not specified timelines or outcomes for the task force’s findings.
