This released today. >> Mike. >> Brett, good evening to you. DNI Tulsi Gavard declassified documents today from before and after the 2016 election, promising they would show the American people how intelligence was politicized and weaponized by some key figures in the Obama administration. She talks about it in an interview airing on Hannity this evening. >> You have some of the most powerful people in our country directly leading at the helm, President Obama and his senior most national security cabinet, essentially making a very intentional decision to create this manufactured politicized piece of intelligence. >> According to the documents, August 31st, 2016, a Homeland Security official tells then DNI James Clapper that there was, quote, no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count.

Former President Obama's office declined to comment.
