Overview

• The 2020 House Intelligence Committee report released by Tulsi Gabbard found that the January 2017 ICA’s judgment on Putin’s preference for Trump rested on one unclear fragment and breached analytical standards.
• Gabbard has announced plans to publish additional documents she says will further expose alleged politicization of U.S. intelligence under the Obama administration.
• Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush issued a statement calling the allegations “bizarre,” “ridiculous” and “a weak attempt at distraction.”
• Major outlets including CNN, NBC and The Washington Post published critiques that characterized the DNI’s presentation as misleading and affirmed the broader consensus on Russian interference.
• Gabbard forwarded criminal referrals to the Justice Department recommending investigations of Obama-era officials and the DOJ is currently reviewing her recommendations.
