Whistleblower Alleges Gabbard Suppressed Classified Call Involving Trump Ally
TL;DR
The NSA reportedly detected a highly sensitive call between a foreign intelligence-linked individual and someone close to Donald Trump. A whistleblower’s attorney says DNI Tulsi Gabbard took the information to the president’s staff and instructed NSA to withhold publication, instead directing the details to her office. ODNI denies any improper action, while lawmakers debate legality and transparency, and the independence of the IC inspector general is under scrutiny as the full contents of the complaint remain largely unknown.
