The article asserts that federal law enforcement is coordinating with the Secret Service and that an indictment could happen in days<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>.

Its claim hinges on unnamed \u201cinsiders\u201d supposedly within the DOJ. There is no accompanying documentation, official statement, or chain of verifiable sources. Importantly, no recognized media outlet has reported anything resembling this accusation. In a prior episode of similar disinformation, Reuters analyzed a false story from 2020 claiming Obama had been arrested for espionage and concluded it was entirely fabricated, drawing on disinformation tactics such as grafting Obama\u2019s name onto an unrelated DOJ press release<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent weeks, a sensational headline circulating on OmegaNewsBD claims that the Department of Justice is preparing to indict and arrest former President Barack Obama on charges of treason, espionage, &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5942,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5941"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5941"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5943,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5941\/revisions\/5943"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addnews.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
