Overview

• Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has referred at least two intelligence community members to the Department of Justice and FBI for criminal investigation over alleged leaks of classified information.
• A third referral is expected soon as part of ongoing internal investigations into unauthorized disclosures within the intelligence community.
• Gabbard stated that the leaks involved selective disclosures to media outlets, including the Washington Post and New York Times, allegedly aimed at undermining President Trump’s policies.
• These actions are part of Gabbard’s broader effort to combat the politicization of intelligence and restore public trust in national security agencies.
• The referrals follow earlier measures under Gabbard’s leadership, including dismissing over 100 officers for misconduct and launching a task force to reform intelligence practices.
