The chief of staff in Tulsi Gabbard’s office of the Director of National Intelligence was caught up in a leak revealing that he ordered officials to rewrite assessments on Venezuelan gang activity to align with Trump’s claims.
The New York Times reports that the Trump administration initially found no legal basis to deport Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act. That’s what led Gabbard’s office to push for edits in the reports — to justify linking the migrants to the Venezuelan government, despite lacking any real evidence. Which certainly tracks with the entire alleged fake knuckle tattoo saga.
