Vice President JD Vance said in an interview airing Sunday that a lot of people would be indicted for “aggressive violations of the law” during the Russiagate scandal, arguing that those involved needed to face consequences for “defrauding” the American people.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents and a memo on July 18 detailing what she described as a “years-long coup” against President Donald Trump after he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. Vance told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo that Obama administration officials “defrauded” Americans with false claims Trump colluded with Russia.

“Do you want to see indictments?” Bartiromo asked Vance, who responded, “Absolutely, Maria. Look, of course you’ve got to have the law follow the facts here. You don’t just indict people to indict people, you indict people because they broke the law. But if you look at what Tulsi and [FBI Director] Kash Patel have revealed in the last couple of weeks, I don’t know how anyone can look at that and say there wasn’t aggressive violations of the law.”
