Texts and Emails From Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Go Viral After A Brand New Report From Paul Sperry Alleges ...
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A massive political earthquake is rocking Washington following the release of newly declassified intelligence documents. The memos, released at the urging of lawmakers and top officials—including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Attorney General Pam Bondi—reveal that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed a calculated strategy to "smear" Donald Trump with unfounded allegations of Russian collusion during the 2016 race.
According to the declassified files drawn from Special Counsel John Durham’s multi-year investigation annex, Clinton approved a plan proposed by her foreign policy advisor, Julianne Smith.
The strategy called for “smearing Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion by the Russian special services in the pre-election process to benefit the Republican candidate,” explicitly designed to divert attention from Clinton's own growing private email server scandal.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who requested the declassifications, didn't mince words about the explosive findings: “These intelligence reports and related records, whether true or false, were buried for years. History will show that the Obama and Biden administrations’ law enforcement and intelligence agencies were weaponized against President Trump.”
The Dec. 2016 Presidential Briefing
DNI Tulsi Gabbard also released a highly sensitive December 2016 Presidential Daily Brief draft intended for then-President Barack Obama, which stated:
“Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”
A Necessary Reality Check: While social media is currently ablaze with claims that this memo disproves all forms of Russian interference, it's critical to look at the exact wording. The intelligence community concluded that election infrastructure (meaning actual voting machines and vote tallies) was never altered, which aligns perfectly with years of sworn testimony.
However, the misconception arises when conflating voting machines with the hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) networks. The subsequent 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment focused heavily on the DNC email leaks. What these new declassifications critically expose is how the Clinton campaign, the FBI, and the intelligence apparatus weaponized those DNC hacks via unverified opposition research—like the infamous Steele Dossier—to spy on and delegitimize the incoming Trump administration.
The "Developing" Text Message Bombshell
Adding massive fuel to the fire, Paul Sperry, a senior reporter for Real Clear Investigations, announced that he has sources pointing to devastating digital evidence of this coordination.
Sperry took to X (formerly Twitter) to post: "DEVELOPING: I’m told there are texts/emails indicating Hillary Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, NSC, State Dept and Intelligence Community officials in efforts to dig up dirt tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in July 2016 …developing…"
Investigating the Investigators
The disclosure is being hailed as a major vindication for Donald Trump, who spent the entirety of his first term insisting the Crossfire Hurricane probe was a politically motivated witch hunt.
Now, the tables have completely turned. Reports indicate that federal law enforcement officials are preparing the groundwork for possible criminal investigations into the original architects of the Russia probe, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.
With the Durham annex fully exposed and a new administration demanding total transparency, the biggest political scandal in modern American history is finally seeing the light of day.
Trump Warns Iran of ‘Total Obliteration’ if They Try To Harm Him HH
President Donald Trump warned Iran that continued assassination threats made by leaders in Tehran would be met with the country getting “blown up” and “total obliteration.”
“Well, they shouldn’t be doing it but I’ve left notification,” Trump said. “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow the whole — the whole country’s going to get blown up.”

Biden-era Intelligence officials briefed Trump about the alleged threats against him during his presidential campaign in 2024. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland said the plot was retaliation for the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the U.S. in 2020, during Trump’s first administration.
Despite being briefed by his administration, Trump on Tuesday said President Biden “should have said something” on the matter, adding that presidents should defend each other on such matters.
“But I have very firm instructions,” Trump continued. “Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Trump also spoke about the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva.
“What are you expecting from these Iran talks in Geneva?” a reporter asked Trump aboard Air Force One.

“So, I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they’ll be very important. We’ll see what can happen. Typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator; they’re good negotiators — or bad negotiators. I would say they’re bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s to knock out their nuclear potential. We had to send the B2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal,” Trump said.
“Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?” the reporter followed up.
Trump replied, “No. I think they want to make a deal. I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal. They want to make a deal.”
WATCH:
Trump previously said that he instructed officials to destroy Iran if they killed him.
The president said this after signing an executive order right after taking office that gave him all the tools he needed to talk to Iran’s government and put as much pressure on Tehran as possible.
“They haven’t done that and that would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump said at the time. “Not because of me — if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left. And, they shouldn’t be able to do it.”
Trump warned last week that the United States could send additional warships toward Iran if ongoing diplomatic negotiations fail to produce a deal, signaling that military pressure could increase as talks over Tehran’s nuclear program stall.
In remarks to Axios, Trump said the administration is considering deploying a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln and 9 additional warships already positioned near Iran, though he expressed hope that a diplomatic agreement can still be reached.
“Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” the president told Axios on Tuesday, a reference to the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites in June.
“Last time they didn’t believe I would do it. They overplayed their hand,” Trump added. “We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going.”
The president emphasized that the United States is seeking to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, halt the development of its ballistic missile program, and end support for militant proxy groups. Iranian officials have so far resisted expanding negotiations beyond nuclear-related issues.
He described the nuclear issue as a “matter of course” part of any negotiation, but also insisted that an agreement with Iran must also address Tehran’s ballistic missile stockpiles, per Axios.
Trump said the US “can make a great deal with Iran,” and Tehran “very much wants to make a deal.”
Trump’s comments came ahead of a planned visit to Washington, D.C. by Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to press for a tougher U.S. stance and broader terms for any Iran deal that would include constraints on Tehran’s missile capabilities and regional activities.
Before heading to DC, the Israeli leader previewed some of what he and Trump were going to discuss.
“I will present to the president our understanding of the principles of the negotiations (with Iran) – the essential principles that are important not only to Israel – but to everyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told reporters, per the New York Post.
The administration has already bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, with multiple warships and aircraft deployed as a means of deterrence and leverage.
