How many times has Trump accused former Presidents Biden, Clinton, or Obama of crimes and treason?

As of April 2026, Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have accused Presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton of crimes and “treason” numerous times, with accusations escalating significantly following Trump’s return to office in January 2025.

Trump has accused Barack Obama of treason at least several times, specifically regarding the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

In July 2025, Trump accused Obama, Biden, and Clinton of orchestrating “the crime of the century” related to the 2016 Russia probe.

Trump has frequently labeled the investigations into his campaign as “spying” by the Obama and Biden administrations, stating this was “treason”.

 In July 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a report and referral alleging a “treasonous conspiracy” by senior Obama-era officials.

Trump has asserted that the Russia probe was a “coup” and a “subversion” of the country, calling for the arrest of Obama and Clinton.

Following his return to the White House, Trump explicitly mentioned in July 2025 that he would not show leniency to Obama, stating he “caught him directly” in treasonous actions.

According to a 2019 Axios analysis, Trump accused people or entities of treason at least 24 times during his first term. These claims are largely focused on the 2016 election investigation and have been described by critics as baseless, with officials noting that a Trump-appointed special counsel and Republican-led Senate investigations did not find evidence of such crimes.

A 2020 bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report concluded the Russian government conducted an “aggressive, multi-faceted effort” to aid Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, involving direct contacts between campaign officials and Russian intelligence. The investigation highlighted that campaign aides, particularly Paul Manafort, were willing participants in sharing data with Russian operatives, labeling Russian interference as a systematic effort to influence the U.S. election.

    Meh…he makes me want to spit. Not only is he cosy with the Russians – and gets away with it – but he then throws his henchmen under the bus while he claims innocence. grrrrrrrr

      Instead of spitting, I’d like to have a sound proof basement torture chamber and have him all to myself to try out all the torture methods I’ve read about like the Chinese death by a thousand cuts method or the way the ancient Chinese waterboarded people one layer of wet silk at a time over the mouth until there were fifty layers of wet silk. I’d also want to strap him to one of those racks that stretches his arms and legs. Pull out his teeth if he has any left. Fingernails. Toenails. And a lot more. I want the pain to last for an entire year. I’d use an Iron Maiden for his bed. The iron maiden was a torture device, believed to have been first created in the 19th century. It consists of a solid iron cabinet with a hinged front and spike-covered interior, sufficiently tall to enclose a human being. The spikes adjusted to his body size so they only stick him when he moves. There are also a few methods the Vietcong used to torture POWs I know about. I met a homeless POW survivor once who told me all about what the VC did to him. I won’t go into detail about those. They are gross compared to the Spanish Inquisition.

        GIGGLES!!!!!! Yes please. I never thought it was possible to hate someone you don’t actually know, have never met blah blah. But what I feel for /him/ is pure hate. He is the personification of the very worst of humankind, and I hate how he has manipulated decent people into propelling him into power. I have no sympathy for his enablers in the administration, and I take great pleasure in watching one after the other get thrown under the bus. Makes you wonder just exactly how stupid were they to believe it would never happen to ‘them’.

        The famous quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln is: “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time”.

        That is why the few who Trump keeps fooling end up being called fools, which pisses them off. They piss me off because they are helping their convicted rapist, fraud, felon and lifelong cheater, liar conman to increase his wealth while he’s destroying the country in every way possible while looting it and pulling most of the world down with us.
