Tulsi Gabbard Denies Wrongdoing in National Intelligence Whistleblower Complaint, Calls It "Baseless"
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) has denied any wrongdoing in connection with a delayed whistleblower complaint referral to Congress members. The complaint was filed last May by a national intelligence official who alleged that Gabbard was being unfairly targeted for her views on foreign policy.
Gabbard responded to the allegations, saying that they are "baseless" and that she had done nothing wrong. She claimed that the whistleblower complaint was locked in a safe since its filing, according to The Journal, with one US official telling the newspaper that the disclosure of its contents could cause "grave damage to national security."
The complaint, which was referred to Congress last week, alleges that Gabbard is being unfairly targeted for her views on foreign policy and that she has engaged in improper activities. However, Gabbard has denied all allegations and claims that she has done nothing wrong.
Gabbard's response comes as Democrats are questioning the delay in referring the complaint to Congress. The delay has raised concerns about whether the whistleblower was subjected to retaliation or intimidation for coming forward with allegations against a member of Congress.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) has been investigating the allegations, and it is unclear what actions will be taken next. However, Gabbard's response suggests that she may try to clear her name by addressing the allegations directly.
In a statement, Gabbard said: "I deny any wrongdoing in this matter and I demand an investigation into these baseless allegations."
Gabbard's office has also issued a statement denying all allegations and saying that they are committed to investigating the whistleblower complaint thoroughly.
The delay in referring the complaint to Congress has raised concerns about whether the whistleblower was subjected to retaliation or intimidation for coming forward with allegations against a member of Congress. The matter is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what actions will be taken next.

So like I'm seeing this Tulsi Gabbard situation and I'm thinking... did you know that in 2022, 71% of Americans approved of her foreign policy views 
? She's been pretty outspoken on some big issues, but it looks like some people are trying to shut her down 
. The thing is, according to my data, whistleblower complaints are only filed about 0.003% of the time, and most cases are dropped before they even reach Congress 
. So if there's a legitimate concern here, I hope it gets looked into ASAP 
. By the way, have you seen the graph on the number of politicians who've left office due to ethics issues? It's like 50% of members in the past decade 
. We need more transparency and accountability in our government! 
she's trying to spin this whole thing by calling the whistleblowers complaint "baseless" without even having all the facts...like, how can you just dismiss a national intelligence whistleblower like that? 
. This whole thing reeks of cover-up 
. A national intel whistleblower coming forward with allegations about a member of Congress is a serious matter, and the delay in referring it to Congress is suspicious 
. It's like she's trying to sweep this under the rug 
.
. That's not how you handle a whistleblower complaint in good faith 
. The NIS investigation might be the least of our worries; what about the potential retaliation or intimidation against the whistleblower? 
We need answers, and we need them now 
. The fact that the complaint was locked in a safe for months raises more questions than answers - what exactly was being hidden? Was there something the government didn't want to disclose to Congress? 
I'd love to see some transparency and accountability from both Gabbard and the NIS on this matter 
. Ultimately, the American people deserve to know what's really going on here 
. if there's even a hint of wrongdoing, she'll deny it with every fiber of her being 
. but seriously, this whole thing reeks of smoke and mirrors 
, especially with the national intel service investigating the allegations 
. The delay in referring the complaint to Congress does raise concerns about whether there was some kind of pressure or intimidation involved, which is not cool at all 
. As for Gabbard herself, I'm not convinced she's doing the right thing by denying everything without giving more context 
...
. Think about it like this: just because you haven't been caught red-handed doesn't mean you're innocent, right? What we really need to focus on is what's driving these baseless allegations - are they rooted in fear or misinformation? By scrutinizing the motivations behind these claims, we can uncover more truth and move forward with an open mind 
.
. Tulsi Gabbard's response, saying the allegations are "baseless", comes off as pretty convenient 
. And let's be real, the fact that the whistleblower complaint is being kept in a "safe" since its filing is pretty suspicious 
. I'm not saying Gabbard did anything wrong, but the lack of transparency here is just weird 
.
. I think we need more accountability here 
. The fact that the National Intelligence Service is investigating the allegations doesn't necessarily mean Gabbard is guilty, but it does suggest that something fishy went down 
.
. But this whole situation just feels like a big mess 
. We need more facts, not just spin and PR 
.
even if she did do something wrong (although from what im reading she says she didnt), its still super bad that people are targeting her for her views 
. whats worst is the whistleblower had to come forward with allegations like that, it cant be easy for them 
we should all be supporting them too, not just tulsi gabbard 
. Gabbard's trying to spin this as a baseless attack, but let's be real, when you're the one with the power and the platform, sometimes that kind of scrutiny can come back to bite you 
. i think we need to see more evidence before we start makin judgments about someone's character... let's not jump to conclusions just yet 
. like, she's literally a member of congress and these national intel officials are trying to take her out? 
, i love how she's owning this and not backing down at all 
. anywayz, gotta keep an eye on this one...this could get juicy
