Trump Continues Urging Arrests of Obama and Election Workers
On January 27, 2026, President Donald Trump directed attention towards Barack Obama and Georgia election workers, calling for their arrests. This public statement is part of a broader narrative he has maintained for years. Trump’s comments came amid various national challenges, particularly concerning his administration’s controversial policies.
Trump’s Claims Against Obama and Election Workers
Trump shared a screenshot on social media that accused Obama of orchestrating a “coup” with the help of “CIA agents.” He alleged that Obama’s actions aimed to undermine public trust in democracy and his victory in the 2016 presidential election. It is notable that in that election, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly three million votes.
- 2016 Election: Trump lost the popular vote.
- 2020 Election Claims: Trump continues to assert he won both nationally and in Georgia.
Recent Developments in Georgia
In another post, Trump referred to the 2020 election results, claiming “TRUMP WON BIG. Crooked Election!” This rhetoric reflects his long-standing position regarding election integrity. Notably, Trump has repeatedly asserted that he won the state of Georgia, despite losing during his second presidential run.
In 2021, Trump attempted to influence the election results when he contacted Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger. During that call, he urged Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” a clear effort to overturn the election outcome.
FBI Investigation and Its Implications
The day before Trump’s latest remarks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant in Fulton County, Georgia. This involved seizing records related to the 2020 presidential election. Legal experts have condemned this action, framing it as a significant threat to democratic standards.
This FBI search occurred close to Fulton County Jail, where Trump was booked and had his mugshot taken in 2023. This booking followed his indictment by the county’s District Attorney, Fani Willis. The charges were centered on Trump’s attempts to alter the legitimate election results in Georgia.
Trump’s ongoing focus on Obama and election matters reflects a continuing narrative aimed at discrediting former political opponents and questioning the integrity of election processes in the United States.
