Fox Business anchor Cheryl Casone and Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart discussed their belief that former President Barack Obama plotted a coup and committed treason.
During the on-air interview, the pair discussed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent revelation about how Obama was behind the Russiagate hoax in 2016.
Casone explained that Gabbard “revealed an explosive declassified document drop alleging that the Obama administration created and pushed the narrative that President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.”
“Congressman, I want to get your reaction to this document dump from Tulsi Gabbard on Friday and what this means going forward. What do you think?” Casone asked.
“Well, we’ve known that there was a concerted effort coming from the administration to basically try to destroy President Trump in his first term. And so that just didn’t happen by osmosis. Somebody had to give the order, because it was coordinated,” Diaz-Balart said.
The congressman continued, “It looks like right now, which we all suspected, that this goes all the way to the top, potentially from President Obama himself. And so I’m grateful that this is finally coming out, because this was an actual coup attempt. You hear the Democrats talk about threat to democracy.”

“There is a threat and there was a threat to democracy, but it wasn’t coming from the right or from conservatives. It was coming from the left and it looks like it came all the way, whether it was President Obama or his closest associates, it looks like it went all the way to the White House. It is important that this is investigated so something like this, an attempted coup in essence, never happens again in the United States of America, the greatest democracy ever.”
Casone asked, “You know, my colleague Gregg Jarrett here at Fox wrote an op-ed at FoxNews.com: ‘How Obama and His Cronies Created the Trump-Russia Hoax,’ but he also poses the question, what happens next? And that is the question about what happens next. I mean, you could look at things like treason. You could look at things—I mean this isn’t about collusion anymore depending on where the investigation goes. Do you think that’s the right path to take right now, or is it more important to focus on the issues at hand for the nation?”
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart: “It looks like this goes all the way to the top, potentially from President Obama himself. I’m grateful that this is finally coming out because this was actually a coup attempt.”

“I mean, look, you can do two things at the same time. I think it’s very important that we follow the facts and that we follow that trail to wherever it leads. We should not be politicizing,” Diaz-Balart responded.
“We have to be, I think, very thoughtful, but you cannot allow, if in fact that happened—which I suspect it did—you cannot allow, in essence, a coup, an organized, planned, aggressive coup to take place, almost take place, and no consequences for that action. But it has to be done seriously. So I tell people, let’s see where the facts go, but right now from what we are able to see just in those documents, it is really damning to President Obama and his entire administration.
And we can do that while at the same time do the other things. And yes, will the Democrats flip out if in fact the facts show that there was this conspiracy with the Democrat leadership and the Senate in particular? Will they flip out and be unable or unwilling to negotiate to do other things for the country? That remains to be seen. But look, we have to get our job done, and part of that job is investigating if there was a potential coup attempt.”
On Friday, Gabbard declassified documents revealing the Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to push the Trump/Russia hoax.
In a long thread on X, Gabbard explained how Obama was directly involved in the “treasonous conspiracy.”
“On January 6, 2017, just days before President Trump took office, DNI Clapper unveiled the Obama-directed politicized assessment, a gross weaponization of intelligence that laid the groundwork for a years-long coup intended to subvert President Trump’s entire presidency,” Gabbard said.
These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.

Gabbard called for the prosecution of former President Barack Obama and others involved, asserting that the fabricated intelligence damaged U.S. national security and public trust. She wrote, “These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.”
The documents show that U.S. intelligence agencies under Obama assessed that Russia played no role in influencing the election outcome through cyberattacks or other means, both before and after the vote.
