Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has undercut Donald Trump’s claim that he did not order her to get involved in the FBI’s controversial seizure of 2020 election ballots in Georgia. Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, Gabbard said she took part in the raid at the president’s request—contradicting his earlier claim that Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her to be there. The FBI’s seizure of hundreds of boxes containing scanned ballots and other documents, and Gabbard’s mysterious presence during the search, alarmed critics who framed the move as retaliation for the president’s 2020 loss.
