A Republican congressman claimed that former President Barack Obama has chosen to stay in Washington in order to run a “shadow government” aimed at undermining President Donald Trump. The Obamas have said they would keep living in the nation’s capital until their younger daughter, Sasha, graduated from high school. “President Obama himself said he was gonna stay in Washington until his daughter graduated. He was sharing the frustration of everyone in the room over how they believe certain Obama administration holdovers within the federal bureaucracy are attempting to upset President Trump’s agenda,” Qualtere said in a statement. Later on Friday, Kelly’s office sent out a second statement to say that he does not believe Obama is personally operating a shadow government.
