The Trump administration has informed lawmakers that it will not provide them with the classified intelligence report that underlies a whistleblower complaint involving Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, citing an assertion of presidential executive privilege.
The standoff was first revealed in an email sent to Democratic congressional staffers on Feb. 13, which The Wall Street Journal reviewed. According to that correspondence, President Trump's administration declined to turn over the unredacted intelligence that prompted the whistleblower complaint because portions are covered by executive privilege.
