Overview

• Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents on July 18 and 22 and referred Obama-era officials to the Justice Department over alleged fabrication of the 2017 Russia interference report.
• The Department of Justice is now reviewing Gabbard’s criminal referrals as partisan rifts deepen over the report’s validity.
• Susan Miller, a co-author of the original assessment, says the report was based on “extremely sound” verified intelligence and free from political direction.
• Miller emphasized that her team briefed President Trump at the time and that the Steele dossier served only as an addendum, not a basis for the core findings.
• Veteran intelligence officers warn that pursuing legal action could chill analyst independence and erode bipartisan trust in U.S. intelligence judgments.
