However, Trump did recently accuse Obama of treason and orchestrating a "coup" in the context of the 2016 Russia probe, based on declassified documents. Obama dismissed these claims as outrageous," another person added. Earlier this week, Trump posted an AI-generated video of Obama's arrest and called for accountability.
