The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is facing fresh accusations of concealing details about what has been described as an “unusual phone call between two members of foreign intelligence.” According to a whistleblower familiar with the situation, Gabbard allegedly broke intelligence community protocol by taking the information directly to the White House after learning that the discussion involved a close confidant of Donald Trump.
The allegations add to growing concerns that Gabbard has been steadily eroding the credibility and independence of the intelligence community. Just last week, she made another uncharacteristic trip for a DNI — this time to Georgia — where she joined FBI agents in searching election center offices. The goal, according to multiple reports, was to uncover evidence that could finally exonerate Trump’s controversial handling of the 2020 election loss.
