Gabbard Fires 100+ Intelligence Officers Over Workplace Chats
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard terminated over 100 intelligence officers across 15 agencies for inappropriate discussions on a government chat platform, including topics like polyamory, gender transition, and politics. This action, following reports from conservative commentator Christopher Rufo, was justified as an “egregious violation of trust” and a breach of professional standards. The terminations are part of a broader effort to reform the intelligence community and restore public trust, as stated by Gabbard. Simultaneously, Gabbard’s office faces a legal challenge regarding the planned dismissal of dozens of officers involved in diversity programs.
