President Donald Trump has shared what appears to be an AI-generated video of FBI agents arresting and cuffing former President Barack Obama.
The video begins with Obama, as well as other Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying repeatedly that “no one is above the law.”
Seconds later in the video, Trump and Obama are seated in what looks like the Oval Office, circa January 2017, when Obama was set to leave office and Trump was about to begin his first term.
The ‘agents,’ wearing FBI jackets, move Obama out of his chair and to the floor, where they proceed to place him in handcuffs as the ’70s-era disco hit “YMCA” by the Village People plays and a headline reads, “No One Is Above the Law.”
Later in the video, which was originally posted to Trump’s Truth Social page, Obama is shown behind bars wearing an orange ‘prison’ jumpsuit.

Trump posted the video amid media appearances this week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has released new disclosures from the government’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 election, otherwise known as alleged “Trump-Russia collusion,” which have revealed a stunning admission from top Obama-era officials.
A newly declassified memo, released Friday by Gabbard, shows that U.S. intelligence officials concluded Russia did not play a significant role in Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. The document is the clearest proof yet that officials inside the Obama administration had serious doubts about Russian interference, even as they pressed forward with the investigation anyway.
The memo, dated 2016, told then-President Obama directly that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”
While it acknowledges prior reporting about a possible breach of Illinois voter rolls and failed targeting attempts in other states, the memo clearly states that those efforts never touched voting systems—and didn’t come close to altering results.
“The targeting of infrastructure not used in casting ballots makes it highly unlikely it would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote,” the document reads. It goes further: “Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes.”
The disclosure is a major vindication for Trump, who has long argued that the Russia collusion narrative was a hoax pushed by the Clinton campaign and Obama intelligence officials to sabotage his presidency before it began.
Pressure is now building on those who pushed the hoax.
FBI officials are preparing the groundwork for a possible criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and others involved in launching and running the Crossfire Hurricane probe.
According to a release from current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, career intelligence officials say Brennan deliberately kept parts of the investigation secret from other agencies and aggressively pushed to include the now-debunked Steele dossier—a document that falsely claimed connections between Trump and Russian agents.
A 200-page congressional audit has been compiled after a secret meeting last weekend between DOJ and intelligence officials. They’re now looking at whether to declassify even more documents, including Crossfire Hurricane notes and transcripts from special counsel John Durham’s investigation, which concluded in 2023 that the Trump–Russia connection was baseless.
