Overview

• The DOJ has received Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s formal criminal referral accompanied by over 100 declassified pages accusing Obama administration officials of manipulating election intelligence
• Gabbard’s dossier claims a December 2016 assessment finding no evidence of cyberattacks on U.S. election infrastructure was pulled and replaced by an Obama-directed analysis asserting Russian meddling
• House Republicans such as Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Byron Donalds are pressing federal prosecutors to charge former officials under statutes prohibiting false statements and conspiracy
• Democratic leaders and independent analysts counter that bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigations confirmed genuine Kremlin interference and found no evidence of intelligence politicization
• The dispute spotlights broader concerns about accountability for past intelligence decisions and the integrity of U.S. national security processes
