Trump Shares Controversial AI Video of Obama's Arrest, Sparks Debate Over Russiagate Hoax

President Donald Trump ignited widespread controversy on Sunday evening by posting an AI-generated video depicting former President Barack Obama being arrested by FBI agents during an Oval Office meeting. The video shows Obama being handcuffed and taken into custody, sparking intense debate online. Trump also shared mugshots of individuals he accused of being part of a "Deep State coup plot" tied to the Russia collusion hoax.
On Saturday, Trump hinted at prosecuting Obama and others involved in the Russiagate investigation, citing declassified briefings that allegedly revealed Obama and his administration knew the collusion narrative was baseless. Former ODNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified a December 2016 briefing, which Trump claims proves Obama and his team knowingly promoted a false narrative.
White House spokesman Harrison Fields criticized Obama and the media on Fox News, calling out Obama's post-presidency activities and accusing him of fostering corruption. Trump praised Fields' performance, calling him "young and talented" and emphasizing the need for accountability.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over the Russiagate investigation, with Trump and his allies accusing Obama and the Deep State of orchestrating a political hoax. The incident has further fueled debates over media integrity and government transparency.
