Barack Obama's arrest video goes viral, Trump says 'No one is above law...,' Find out the truth behind this video

In one of the most strangest attack on Barack Obama, US President Donald Trump on Monday posted a video of former President in handcuffs. The video, posted on Truth Social, begins with Obama saying, “especially the President is above the law”. It then features many US politicians stating, “no one is above the law.”

So, has Obama been arrested? No, wait. It is an AI-generated video of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arresting the former President in the Oval Office.

In the AI-generated video, Obama is being handcuffed by two FBI agents in the same office he once occupied as the President. Trump can be seen sitting and smiling during the “arrest”.

The fake video ends with Obama standing inside jail, wearing the prison’s orange jumpsuit.

What are the critics saying about the video?

Critics have slammed the Trump administration for such an irresponsible behaviour as it was released without a disclaimer and called him ‘deeply irresponsible.’

What is 2016 election corruption connection?

This comes weeks after Trump accused Obama of a ‘high-level election fraud’. Last week, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed that she has “striking” and “overwhelming” evidence of ex-Obama officials allegedly manufacturing the Trump-Russia collusion theory after the 2016 election to prevent Trump’s presidency. She called for a trial of the former Obama administration.

“Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicised and weaponised by the most powerful people in the Obama administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Donald Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic,” she wrote on X.
