Multiple sources show Trump repeatedly accused Obama of treason (2018, June 2020, July 2025, January 2026, May 2026), and several name Obama-era officials such as Comey and Clinton, so the 'at least three occasions' count is well supported for the Obama side.
What was said
… sooner than I thought it would, but I said three weeks ago that we're going to reach a point where Trump supporters are going to have to justify why they're tolerant of treason. That's what they're going to have to do, because we were all on the same page, including Trump, I think, on three separate occasions at least I can recall. He has accused both members and directly Obama administration and Biden administration of treason. He's used that word. He's made that accusation, and so everybody went along for that ride, and we thought that that was real.

The Health Ranger Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Reuters and LA Times report Trump calling Obama's conduct treason in June 2020, and CNN and AP report a repeated treason accusation against Obama in July 2025.[1][2][4][5]
Supports. Snopes and Yahoo/NJ.com timelines report Trump accusing Obama, Clinton and Comey of treason in May 2026, and calling for the arrest of special counsel Jack Smith.[3][6][7]
Supports. TheWrap (January 2026) reports Trump writing about the 'ObamaBiden Administration' and saying 'It's called Treason', which covers the Biden administration alongside Obama's.[8]
Context. Many of these accusations were widely described as baseless or unsubstantiated, so the claim reports the accusations, not their truth.[1][2][5][8]
Context. No source directly documents a treason accusation against a specific Biden-administration official, so the Biden element rests on a single broad reference.[8][9]
