Tulsi Gabbard To Go Nuclear On Deep State Before Leaving ODNI

Last week, Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, announced she will step down on June 30 to care for her husband, Abraham, who has been diagnosed with what she called “an extremely rare form of bone cancer.” 

“My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,” she wrote in her resignation letter.

“I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position.” 

Since taking the position of DNI, Gabbard has moved aggressively to overhaul the intelligence community, trying to root out the politicization and corruption, including exposing the deep state’s war on President Trump. 

Gabbard revoked the security clearances of officials found to have “abused public trust,” shut down DEI programs across the intelligence community, and redirected its focus toward foreign terrorist organizations.

Gabbard also prioritized transparency, and by May 2026, Gabbard had overseen the declassification of more than 500,000 pages of previously secret government documents.

Those documents span an almost surreal range of American history: assassination records on President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.; files connected to Amelia Earhart’s 1937 disappearance; and Biden administration documents detailing the federal government’s “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”

She also pushed the declassification of materials she argues expose the full mechanics of the Russia investigation, which her office says proved that the Obama administration weaponized intelligence to undermine Trump’s 2016 campaign.

She may be leaving, but between now and her final day as DNI, Gabbard intends to make her departure felt by the deep state.

DNI Gabbard presses to declassify secret but critical court opinion during FISA renewal debate

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is pushing to declassify a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion expected to reveal major compliance failures in the government’s use of Section 702 surveillance powers, Just the News has learned.

The effort comes as Congress is debating whether to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which permits the government to collect communications of foreign targets located abroad.

Civil liberties advocates and constitutional scholars have long argued the program also sweeps in large volumes of Americans’ communications without warrants, creating what critics describe as a loophole around Fourth Amendment protections.

At the center of the controversy is the government’s ability to conduct so-called backdoor searches, in which analysts query databases containing incidentally collected American communications. 

The pending court opinion is expected to detail concerns over how federal agencies have managed queries of Section 702 databases and whether internal guardrails designed to prevent abuse were circumvented, according to a senior intelligence official.

The Justice Department reportedly discovered in 2024 that the FBI had used a filtering mechanism that enabled personnel to query Section 702 data without fully complying with oversight requirements established under the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act. 

Investigators reportedly found the system lacked adequate counting, tracking, and approval procedures that are required under the law.

Although officials said the specific tool was later shut down, the still-classified court opinion reportedly indicates that similar tools may continue to exist elsewhere within the intelligence community, including at the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Gabbard announced Friday she is stepping down June 30 to spend more time with her husband, Abraham, who was recently diagnosed with bone cancer.

CIA Accused of Illegally Spying on Tulsi Gabbard and Interfering with DNI Investigations in Bombshell Report and Whistleblower Testimony 

A bombshell new report from investigative journalist Catherine Herridge reveals how the CIA has stonewalled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and spied on her team’s efforts to investigate public scandals and government corruption. 

The report comes amid Gabbard’s resignation as Director of National Intelligence, which she announced on Friday.

Gabbard cited her husband’s rare form of bone cancer for her resignation. Still, this comes as tensions between the CIA and ODNI gained public attention earlier this month after CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified that the CIA had seized documents related to the JFK assassination and MKUltra — the CIA’s experimentation on human behavior and mind control through the use of drugs — from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) fired off a preservation letter to the CIA, demanding that all existing and future records related to the taken items be preserved. A Director of National Intelligence spokeswoman later denied that a “raid” occurred as the claim circulated.

The Invisible War Inside America’s Intelligence Empire

Tulsi Gabbard is one of the most unusual and controversial figures ever to ascend to the apex of the American intelligence apparatus. A former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, combat veteran, Lieutenant Colonel, and former presidential candidate who publicly broke with her own party over war, surveillance, and the sprawling national security bureaucracy, Gabbard spent years condemning the intelligence establishment before ultimately becoming Director of National Intelligence (DNI) under President Donald Trump. Her appointment alone sent seismic tremors through Washington’s permanent ruling class. Yesterday those tremors erupted into a political earthquake after allegations exploded across Capitol Hill and conservative media that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had removed highly sensitive files from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) during an escalating confrontation over the declassification of records involving the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the infamous MKUltra mind control program.

The controversy erupted publicly after reports circulated during Jesse Watters’ broadcast on Fox News on May 13, 2026. Watters stated that CIA personnel had effectively “raided” Gabbard’s office and removed dozens of boxes of classified records reportedly being prepared for public release. According to the claims aired on television and amplified across social media, the records included materials tied to the Kennedy assassination, covert CIA operations, and MKUltra, the notorious Cold War era program in which the agency conducted experiments involving LSD, hypnosis, psychological conditioning, and other forms of behavioral manipulation.

The story detonated instantly because of its staggering implications. Tulsi Gabbard is not merely another cabinet official. As Director of National Intelligence she oversees the broader Intelligence Community, including coordination among the CIA, The National Security Agency (NSA), The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),and numerous other agencies. For the public to hear allegations that the CIA had entered the orbit of the DNI and removed records under dispute created the appearance of an internal war inside America’s intelligence hierarchy itself.

DNI Gabbard Spox Denies that CIA “Raided” Office to Seize Files Following CIA Whistleblower Testimony

A spokesperson for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has denied reporting that the CIA raided the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and took files relating to the JFK Assassination and the CIA’s mind control program MKUltra. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday that the CIA “took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard” in what he described as “documented efforts to circumvent oversight.”

This prompted Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to send a preservation letter to the CIA, demanding that all existing and future records related to the taken items be preserved.

“Docs need to be returned to ODNI given that ODNI was given direction and authority by the President to declass RFK, MLK, & JFK. Regarding MKULTRA, these were documents specifically requested by my Task Force and currently being used for our investigation,” Luna wrote on X.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Fires off Preservation Letter to CIA After Whistleblower Testifies that CIA Seized MKUltra and JFK Assassination Files from Tulsi Gabbard 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and the House Oversight Committee issued a warning and subpoena to the CIA and Director John Ratcliffe on Wednesday. The action came after a whistleblower accused the agency of seizing documents related to the JFK assassination and MKUltra — the CIA’s experimentation on human behavior and mind control through the use of drugs — from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier that the CIA “took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard” in what he described as “documented efforts to circumvent oversight.”

During an interview with News Nation’s Katie Pavlich following the bombshell testimony, Luna sounded the alarm on the CIA’s alleged refusal to follow President Trump’s executive orders and its aversion to transparency.

CIA Went Rogue, Raided Tulsi’s Office to Seize Papers

A breaking news alert from Fox News, apparently confirmed by a Republican congresswoman, states that the Central Intelligence Agency went rogue, raiding the office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to seize files.

It seems from the Fox News report that the CIA seized the files just now, though a whistleblower from the agency who testified to Congress today referred to the wrongful seizure of files in his testimony. It is therefore not clear if the raid occurred today or before the testimony, or if there was more than one seizure. In either case, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is giving the CIA 24 hours to return the files in question or face consequences.

The CIA was allegedly after the files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the MK-Ultra human experimentation scandal. The story on the raid is developing but seems to be legitimate, and illustrates the need for drastic cuts in our Deep State. Donald Trump cannot hope to prevent such egregious acts by merely replacing top leadership. The majority of employees at the CIA and FBI worked there during the Biden-era weaponization of justice and believe they are not accountable to Trump or We the People.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard was reportedly in the process of declassifying the JFK and MK-ULTRA files, and it seems the CIA gave us indirect confirmation that there is something in those files that they desperately do not want anyone to know. The problem is that we don’t know if they will be able to destroy the files or not before the Trump administration can get them back. If the raid just occurred and did not happen previously in the last couple of days, it is interesting to note that President Trump was out of the country in China, and therefore unable to be present personally to deal with the situation. Hopefully, Vice President Vance is on the job.

Tulsi Gabbard Launches Investigation on 120 US-Funded Biolabs – Dozens Located in Ukraine

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has launched an investigation of more than 120 biological laboratories overseas that have received U.S. tax dollars for decades.

Gabbard told the New York Post on Monday that her team is going to “identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain and what ‘research’ is being conducted to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and the world.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have,” Gabbard said. “Yet despite these obvious dangers, politicians, so-called health professionals, like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of these US-funded and supported biolabs and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.”

In May of 2024, the National Institute of Health Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak admitted to Congress that tax dollars funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, making viruses 10,000 times more infectious.

According to officials within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the laboratories under review are spread across more than 30 countries.

Many reportedly received support through a Pentagon program which was originally established after the Cold War to secure or dismantle weapons-related materials and prevent the spread of biological and chemical threats.

The report said that more than 40 of the facilities being reviewed are located in Ukraine. Intelligence officials cited concerns that laboratories in active conflict zones could face risks of compromise or disruption due to the war in the country.

Arguments have been made that lax oversight of research funding often flowing through federal agencies to grantees and subawardees creates a quagmire that prevents Americans from knowing whether potentially dangerous experiments are being conducted on their dime without their consent.

FBI Launches Criminal Investigation into Senate Intel Committee Democrats for Leaking CLASSIFIED Intel on DNI Tulsi Gabbard to the New York Times: Report

The FBI has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into whether Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee or their staff leaked classified intelligence information to The New York Times in an apparent effort to damage Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard during her confirmation battle.

According to reporting from Just the News, the probe centers on a National Security Agency criminal referral last year tied to the disclosure of a classified overseas intercept that surfaced in a New York Times report during Gabbard’s contentious nomination process.

Sources told the outlet that FBI Director Kash Patel moved quickly after learning of the dormant referral, opening a criminal investigation into whether Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats or their staff improperly disclosed classified material.

The alleged leak reportedly involved intelligence tied to Gabbard’s 2017 Syria trip.

The intercepts reportedly captured two Hezbollah terrorists discussing Gabbard’s 2017 trip to Syria, where they claimed she met with “the big guy.”

The classified material was in the hands of Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats and their staff before it magically appeared in the New York Times hit piece.

ODNI sends criminal referrals to DOJ for ex-IG, whistleblower tied to Trump impeachment

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for the whistleblower whose complaint helped trigger President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment and for the former intelligence community inspector general who notified Congress of the allegations, Fox News Digital has learned.

“I want to refer information that may constitute possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former employees of the intelligence community,” ODNI’s general counsel wrote in the referral to the Justice Department.

Fox News Digital on Wednesday reviewed the referrals ODNI sent to the Justice Department. 

“The possible criminal activity concerns the circumstances described in the following congressional briefings:Discussion with Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019); Briefing by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019),” it continued.  

The referrals come after DNI Tulsi Gabbard released documents earlier this week exposing what was described as a “coordinated effort” by elements within the intelligence community—including then-Inspector General Michael Atkinson, to “manufacture a conspiracy” that was used as the basis to impeach Trump in 2019.

An intelligence official told Fox News Digital that the language in the referral is broad, but that it’s specifically directed at Atkinson and the whistleblower who reported concerns about President Trump’s July 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
