According to the Los Angeles Times, Trump's director of national intelligence has dismissed intelligence agency assessments regarding Russia's war aims in Ukraine as products of deep state warmongers within the intelligence community.

Tulsi Gabbard has spent the past few days at the center of a storm over her use of the office of Director of National Intelligence to revisit battles from the Trump Russia era and to frame recent political violence as a national security turning point.Indian public broadcaster Doordarshan News reports that Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who later became a Republican, was appointed Director of National Intelligence by President Donald Trump after his 2024 election victory, with Trump praising her as a fearless defender of civil liberties and strong intelligence reform.[Doordarshan News] That background helps explain why her latest moves are drawing intense attention.According to the Times Now coverage of a recent Washington briefing, Gabbard has released a new report accusing key Obama era intelligence and law enforcement leaders of orchestrating what she calls a coordinated effort to delegitimize Trumps 2016 win.[Times Now] In that report and in televised comments, she names former President Barack Obama, former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan as central figures in what she characterizes as an abuse of surveillance authorities and politicization of intelligence to fuel the original Russia collusion narrative.[Times Now]Times Now notes that Gabbard has urged the Justice Department and Congress to pursue criminal accountability where appropriate, saying no official, including a former president, is above the law.[Times Now] Her remarks have fueled speculation about whether her findings could underpin future indictments, a prospect that supporters frame as long overdue while critics warn it risks turning intelligence oversight into a tool of partisan retribution.Domestic reaction has been divided. The Washington Examiner, in a broader review of the current Trump cabinet, describes Gabbard as one of the more influential national security voices, noting that she has been deeply involved in after action reviews of earlier scandals, including a controversial encrypted messaging group where senior officials discussed military strikes.[Washington Examiner] Allies inside the administration tell the Examiner that Trump values her willingness to challenge what she calls the security state, while some lawmakers from both parties are privately questioning whether her rhetoric about treason and conspiracy could further erode trust in the intelligence community.Separately, AOL News reports that at a recent memorial event for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Gabbard compared the impact of his killing on the conservative movement to how the terrorist attacks of September eleven reshaped the entire country.[AOL News] She argued that the assassination should be treated as a wake up call about escalating political violence and what she describes as a growing permissiveness toward attacks on Trump supporters.[AOL News] Critics have called the comparison inflammatory, but it underscores how she is merging her intelligence role with a broader narrative about domestic extremism and political targeting.As these stories develop, listeners can expect more clashes between Gabbard and former intelligence officials, as well as new debates in Congress over how far a Director of National Intelligence should go in publicly revisiting past investigations.Thank you for tuning in, and please remember to subscribe.
