Details have emerged about a whistleblower complaint accusing Tulsi Gabbard, the United States Director of National Intelligence, of suppressing intelligence related to a sensitive phone call between a close ally of former President Trump and a foreign official regarding Iran. The complaint, first filed last May, alleged that Gabbard limited the sharing of this information within intelligence agencies and that a legal office failed to refer a potential crime to the Justice Department. Gabbard has denied any wrongdoing, calling the allegations baseless and politically motivated, and both the former and current acting Inspectors General concluded the complaint was not credible. The controversy has fueled partisan debate, with some lawmakers citing it as evidence of Gabbard's incompetence, while others dismissed it as a politically driven smear.
