House Speaker Mike Johnson says Congress may subpoena former President Barack Obama over allegations of treason involving the coordinated effort by his administration to harm then-incoming President Donald Trump.
Johnsons confirmed to reporter David Brody in an interview that he is considering a subpoena after DNI Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified documents related to the 2016 plot against Trump.
“I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth, where it leads,” Johnson said, pointing out that if Obama was complicit, he needs to be held accountable.
“If it’s uncomfortable for him, he shouldn’t have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened,” Johnson told Brody.

Monday the Department of Justice confirmed receipt of documents from Gabbard that outline how Obama and his national security team “laid the groundwork” for years of attacks on Trump.
“Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people,” Gabbard posted on X Friday regarding the criminal referral. “No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it. We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral.”
Gabbard said, “There must be indictments” for the “treasonous conspiracy. … They all must be held accountable.”
Noted Gabbard Sunday: “The implications of this are, frankly, nothing short of historic. Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama if just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected.”
