b'At a White House press brieng, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleged that the Obama administration promoted a "contrived narrative" that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. "There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false," Gabbard said. "They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn\'t." Gabbards comments come amid the declassication of a trove of documents from the U.S. intelligence community that allege the Obama administration politicized intelligence. 37'
