Gabbard Dismisses Over 100 Intelligence Officers for Misuse of NSA Chatrooms
The firings follow revelations of sexually explicit discussions on government platforms, linked to diversity initiatives under the previous administration.
- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has terminated over 100 intelligence officers from 15 agencies for engaging in inappropriate conversations on NSA's Intelink platform.
- The discussions included explicit topics such as polyamory, gender transition surgeries, and sexual fetishes, violating professional standards and trust.
- The chatrooms were reportedly tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employee groups established during the Biden administration.
- The NSA has launched an internal investigation, emphasizing that the misuse involved a small group and does not represent the broader intelligence community.
- The firings align with President Trump's executive order dismantling DEI programs, with Gabbard pledging further action to restore accountability in intelligence agencies.
