Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, said she had submitted evidence to the Department of Justice. This included an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) from the Obama administration on cyber threats to the 2016 election, along with a series of previously classified memos — including documents from the office of James Clapper, who served as Director of National Intelligence under Obama.

Clapper was among those Gabbard named as directly involved, along with several other senior Obama-era officials.

The Steele dossier was one of the catalysts for the lengthy investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into alleged Russian election interference.

Mueller’s final report ultimately stated that it “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated” with the Russian government in its election-related activities.

The Obama camp has not yet issued a statement regarding these allegations.
