A spokesperson for Obama pushed back on the Trump administration's claims, saying while they would "not normally dignify the constant nonsense" from the White House with a response, the claims are "outrageous enough to merit one."
"These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," the statement said.
Trump's comments come after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice threatening the Obama administration.
Obama's spokesperson said that "nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes."
"These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intellignce Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio," the Obama spokesperson said on Tuesday.
