President Donald Trump shared a meme referencing the O.J. Simpson car chase, depicting former President Barack Obama as the driver of the white Ford Bronco and an unflatteringly edited version of Vice President JD Vance as a police officer. This meme, originating from a pro-Trump account, seems to reference Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent referral of Obama administration officials to the Justice Department. The post, shared on Trump’s Truth Social and Instagram accounts, drew criticism and requests for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, indicating the public’s attention was diverted to other scandals. Trump’s association with Epstein has long been a source of controversy.

According to a former senior CIA officer, Susan Miller, who helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, the claims made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the White House that the assessment was an attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump are untrue. Miller stated that the assessment, based on credible information, showed Russia aimed to help Trump win, but there was no evidence of collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign. While acknowledging that Russia sought to influence the election, Miller’s team did not find evidence to prove the impact of the information warfare on the vote. However, the White House and the ODNI have disputed Miller’s claims, citing a 2020 report that asserts there was insufficient information to conclude Russia had been trying to tip the scales in favor of Trump.
