Tulsi Gabbard fired two high level intelligence officials days after releasing a report contradicting Trump's claims about Tren de Aragua.
Summary
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council Acting Chair Mike Collins and Deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof after they contradicted Trump’s claims about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
A declassified NIC report found no Maduro-directed effort behind TDA's U.S. activity, opposing Trump’s justification for suspending Venezuelan migrants’ due-process rights.
Whistleblowers accused the officials of undermining Trump. Gabbard is relocating the NIC from the CIA to her office.
Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.
Gabbard is reportedly moving the NIC from the CIA to her own office in order to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” per Fox News.
