US Director of National Intelligence claims top Democrats distorted intel to delegitimize Trump’s presidencyUS Director of National Intelligence claims top Democrats distorted intel to delegitimize Trump’s presidency
US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday released a previously classified congressional report, which she claims debunks "Russia Hoax lies" – a coordinated effort by former President Barack Obama to distort intelligence regarding Moscow’s alleged role in the 2016 election.US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday released a previously classified congressional report, which she claims debunks "Russia Hoax lies" – a coordinated effort by former President Barack Obama to distort intelligence regarding Moscow’s alleged role in the 2016 election.
This marks Gabbard’s second major declassification move, following her earlier allegation of a “treasonous conspiracy” aimed at undermining Donald Trump’s presidency. In a post on X on Wednesday, Gabbard called the report a “bombshell,” asserting it reveals “the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history.” She accused Obama and his senior officials of collaborating with media allies to delegitimize Trump through a deliberate disinformation campaign.
The newly public document – produced by the House Intelligence Committee in 2020 under Republican leadership – challenges the analytical foundation for the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to help then-candidate Trump win the election. It criticizes the CIA for failing to adhere to its own standards, citing “one scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports” as the basis for its assessment that Putin favored Trump.

The report also claims Obama issued “unusual directives” to accelerate the release of the intelligence assessment before Trump’s inauguration, bypassing normal interagency coordination procedures within the intelligence community.The report also claims Obama issued “unusual directives” to accelerate the release of the intelligence assessment before Trump’s inauguration, bypassing normal interagency coordination procedures within the intelligence community.

Gabbard has argued that these actions warrant a criminal investigation and accused Obama-era officials of manufacturing a false narrative to discredit a sitting president. Trump has endorsed her findings, calling for prosecutions of Obama and top members of his administration.Gabbard has argued that these actions warrant a criminal investigation and accused Obama-era officials of manufacturing a false narrative to discredit a sitting president.
