Complaint accuses Gabbard of playing politics with intelligence, which spy agency rejects
February 3, 2026
A complaint made about Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard months ago relates to an allegation that she withheld access to classified information for political reasons. That’s according to documents sent to lawmakers by the inspector general’s office. The former watchdog that initially reviewed the complaint in May found that the allegation did not appear credible. Critics accuse Gabbard of withholding information from lawmakers tasked with oversight of the intelligence services. Top lawmakers from each party and the House and Senate intelligence committees will be able to view the complaint this week. Gabbard’s office has denied the allegations.
