Tulsi Hid Trump Whistleblower Report: Spy Chief Accused of Concealment
A whistleblower complaint alleged that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard secured a highly classified report concerning foreign intelligence contact with an individual close to President Donald Trump, delaying its disclosure to Congress. Despite the whistleblower’s attorney asserting that Gabbard was informed of the complaint and instructed to provide security guidance for its congressional submission, the DNI’s office has denied these claims, labeling the report as false and the leaker as a liar. Gabbard herself stated she first saw the complaint two weeks prior to the report and only recently provided security guidance to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. The situation has escalated with the whistleblower’s attorney threatening to release an unclassified briefing to congressional intelligence committees if guidance is not provided.
