Investing.com -- President Donald Trump launched a verbal attack against President Barack Obama during an Oval Office meeting Tuesday, accusing him of leading what he called a "seditious" conspiracy related to the Russia investigation.

When asked about the Jeffrey Epstein case, Trump quickly shifted focus to criticize Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Trump claimed his administration had found "irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious" and "trying to lead a coup" alongside Clinton and others. "It was Obama. He headed it up and it says so right in the papers," Trump stated.

During the same exchange, Trump addressed last year’s assassination attempt against him, saying authorities reported finding nothing abnormal about the shooter, whom he described as "just a nut job." He acknowledged the Secret Service made mistakes by not having someone on the roof and failing to communicate properly with local police.

Trump also criticized former FBI Director James Comey, calling him "crooked as hell" and referencing the Horowitz report, which he claimed contained damaging information about Comey that former Attorney General Bill Barr "didn’t have the guts to use."

Additionally, Trump made allegations about President Biden using an autopen to sign documents "that he knew nothing about," including what Trump referred to as pardons for members of the January 6th Committee, which he called the "Unselect Committee."

The president also commented on reports about Congressman Adam Schiff, alleging he committed "mortgage loan fraud" by claiming to live in a one-bedroom apartment with a family of four.
