Accused in Gabbard’s office on Friday MemorandumThose who were with the files, that they were involved in what he had said to the evidence of “Daman” and manipulated the inherent intelligence of the 2017 community. assessment Russia’s efforts to intervene in the 2016 presidential election. The files include the email exchange, the President’s daily brief and a readout from the meeting of a principal committee, mainly from a period during the Obama administration.
One in statement And social media PostsGabbard claimed that on July 17, 2025, there were evidence of a “traitors” and “years-long coup” plotted by the Obama administration officials against Shri Trump on 17 July 2025, and he said that he would forward them as part of a criminal referral. He also said in the latter media appearance that more announcements will be made about the matter.
Democrats, pointing to the findings of an bipartisan Senate, fiercely disputed their claims Investigation It concluded that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election. He accused Gabbard of incorrectly presenting intelligence conclusions and procedures.
Congress Jim Hayes, a member of the Ranking of House Intelligence Committee, said, “What you saw from Tulsi Gabard, director of National Intelligence, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie, because when you start throwing around a language like sedition and sedition, someone is hurt,” said the member of the House Intelligence Committee, “said the member of the House Intelligence Committee,” “Facing the nation with Margaret Brainon” sunday.
,[T]The intelligence community is full of very good people who do their work every day, and now they are watching their leader doing something that knows each of them, “His said.
Mark Warner, Vice Chairman of Virginia’s Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement, “This is just another example of DNI, which is trying to cook books, re -write history and cook the trust in intelligence agencies.”
The memorandum released by Gabbard manifests to accept a variety of Russian operations during the 2016 election cycle, while Obama administration officials formed a legend designed to weaken Mr. Trump. It several times indicates to select phrases in documents that Russia says that Russia had the intention or ability to use cyber operations to target infrastructure, change votes and overturn the election – which did not agree the previous investigation.
But when Russia found no evidence to pointing to Russia in a vote-switching cyber attack, there were evidence that showed a multi-dimensional craterin influence campaign that tried to bold American voters. The impact campaign included hack-and-leaked operations and social media posts, designed to reduce the candidature of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and about the then candidate Trump, according to the intelligence community assessment.
In the years after the 2016 presidential election, several reviews of the findings of the Intelligence community – including the Senate report and an investigation led by Special Advocate John Durham, strengthened their findings – appointed by Mr. Trump.
A CIA review The tradecraft involved in the assessment of the agency released earlier this month found that some of its decisions could be participated and one of them could be very high, but it did not conclude that Russia’s efforts were designed to benefit Shri Trump’s candidature.
Gabbard’s statements were praised on Friday and repeated several times by the President, Senior White House officials and Republican MPs. Senate intelligence committee chairman Tom Cotton wrote on a social media Post“It will take decades for the intelligence community to overcome the damage done during Obama and Biden Presidency.”
Senior White House official Stephen Miller wrote The Gabbard “highlighted the shocking depth of a traitors against the Republic.”
The memorandum also criticized that “IC officials” or “IC officials” – “IC officials” – “IC” referring to the intelligence community – with media outlets, when the assessment was being done, Russia said that Russia said that the election was intervened to try to help President Trump. However, the memo does not identify these individuals or provides other evidence about the origin of those revelations.
It also highlights examples in which some agencies disputed or pushed to change the language involved in developing intelligence assessment of Russia’s cyber activity. For example, it cites an FBI officer, who suggested to an exchange in September 2016 that the language of Russia becomes “soft” about Russia’s intentions to use cyber attacks to disrupt the 2016 election.
,[W]E will prefer for the first sentence about Russia’s intention of being soft, “The officer wrote.” The way it currently reads, it will indicate that we have certain information that Russia intends to disrupt our elections and we are uncomfortable at this point. ,
Disintegrations from various agencies are common and conclusions can change because more intelligence is collected or analyzed, according to current and former officials, intelligence is familiar with the draft process for intelligence assessment. The re -selection of the email issued by Gabbard is not clear from how the flag -based language was finalized by the FBI.
Warner has expressed concern about the impact of recent works of Gabbard on intelligence sharing by the United States partners, given that representatives of the Intelligence-Shairing Alliance are known as The Five Eyes-contacted to the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
“I have five eye partners say, ‘Warner, is there hell going on?” “Warner said during a panel discussion on last week’s Aspen Suraksha Manch, a few hours before the 2016 files are released.” I am confident that our five eye companions and others are not sharing as much information they will. ”
