Russian intelligence reportedly gathered damaging information about Hillary Clinton\u2019s health during her 2016 presidential campaign. According to a newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report, the SVR\u2014Russia\u2019s foreign intelligence service\u2014had details of Clinton\u2019s alleged \u201cpsycho-emotional problems\u201d and use of strong sedatives. Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly chose not to release this information, believing Clinton would win the election.<\/p>\n
The report, made public by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, was based on interviews with intelligence officers and FBI agents. It detailed claims that Clinton experienced emotional instability, including fits of anger and mood swings, and was on a regimen of heavy tranquilizers. The committee also cited concerns among top Democrats and President Obama about Clinton\u2019s declining health.<\/p>\n
Specific medical issues listed in the report included diabetes, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Clinton\u2019s team reportedly kept her health status tightly guarded to prevent political fallout. At the same time, the SVR allegedly had internal campaign emails showing Clinton approved a plan to link Trump to Russian hackers to distract from her email server scandal.<\/p>\n
Senator Roger Marshall and Gabbard both referenced the tranquilizer claims in public remarks. Gabbard further accused the Obama administration of orchestrating a \u201ccoup\u201d against Donald Trump by pushing a narrative of Trump-Russia collusion. She claimed Obama\u2019s team ignored intelligence downplaying Russia\u2019s election influence.<\/p>\n
Marshall echoed these accusations, suggesting the intelligence narrative was altered to justify Clinton\u2019s loss. He described Clinton as power-hungry and emotionally unstable during the campaign.<\/p>\n
In response, the Department of Justice announced a new \u201cstrike force\u201d to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative and whether intelligence was deliberately manipulated under Obama\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
