Intelligence Official Ordered to Rewrite Report to Protect Trump
Emails reveal that Joe Kent, Tulsi Gabbard’s chief of staff, directed intelligence analysts to revise a February 26 assessment on the Venezuela-Tren de Aragua gang connection. This revision aimed to protect both President Trump and Gabbard from criticism stemming from the administration’s assertions about the gang. Kent’s April 3rd email explicitly stated the need to prevent the document’s use against them. Despite the revisions, the April 7th final memo still contradicted President Trump’s claims, highlighting the politicization of the intelligence process.
