Exclusive: Trump endorsed national intelligence director’s sweeping review by sending her on Georgia raid last week
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is running her own review into the 2020 election with Donald Trump’s approval, working separately from a justice department investigation even as she joined an FBI raid of an election center in Georgia last week.
Her presence at the raid drew criticism from Democrats and former intelligence officials, who questioned why the country’s top intelligence officer with no domestic law enforcement powers would appear at the scene of an FBI raid.
But Gabbard, whose role ordinarily focuses on overseeing the intelligence agencies, has played only a minimal role in the criminal investigation, according to three administration officials. “She’s doing her own thing,” one of the officials said.
Not too odd if you keep in mind her family history. Her father was a Republican state senator in Hawaii who flipped Dem after Hawaii went blue. Pretty much the same story as the never trumpers, their naked self interest vastly outweighs any kind of conviction they claim to possess.
