Vice President JD Vance has sent shockwaves through Washington after declaring that “a lot of people” are about to be indicted for their roles in the so-called Russiagate scandal.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Vance stopped short of naming names but pointed to recent explosive disclosures from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as “conclusive evidence” of an aggressive violation of the law.
“If you look at what Tulsi and Kash Patel have revealed in the last couple of weeks, I don’t know how anybody can look at that and say there weren’t aggressive violations of the law,” Vance told host Maria Bartiromo. “They defrauded the American people by turning Hillary Clinton’s talking points into intelligence.”
Last month, Gabbard began releasing classified documents from the Obama administration’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in 2016. These releases include proof that top intelligence officials had evidence Russia did not hack voting systems in a way that could influence the election’s outcome.
Following the revelations, Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a DOJ “strike force” and attempted to convene a grand jury to investigate possible criminal infractions. Among those facing scrutiny are former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper—both of whom have strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Obama’s spokesperson dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,” insisting the 2016 election was targeted by Russian influence operations, though without successful vote manipulation.
With a grand jury looming, and Vance’s warning that indictments are imminent, the political world is bracing for what could be the most explosive chapter yet in the Russiagate saga.
