House Speaker Mike Johnson Says Congress Might Subpoena Obama over Russia Conspiracy

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Congress may subpoena former President Barack Obama for allegedly colluding with America’s intelligence agencies to tie President Donald Trump to Russia during the 2016 election.

Johnson revealed to reporter David Brody that he has been considering a subpoena of former President Barack Obama.

“I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth, where it leads,” said Johnson. “To do effectively the opposite of what that other team did — they were engaged in a partisan political plot to take down their foe in the other party. We need to be about the rule of law and bring an order to the chaos and searching out the truth because the American people are owed those answers.”

Regarding President Obama, Johnson said, “If it’s uncomfortable for him, he shouldn’t have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened.”

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard alleged last week that files and records showed former President Barack Obama colluded with intelligence services to undermine the election of Donald Trump by falsely linking him to Russia.
