Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the foundations of Washington with a declassified report exposing what she calls a fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
The Washington Post reported that Gabbard, with President Donald Trump’s full backing, released a minimally redacted 46-page House Intelligence Committee report and related communications, alleging the Obama administration concocted a false story about Russian interference to undermine Trump’s presidency.
Last month, President Trump gave his explicit approval for Gabbard to publish this highly classified document, signaling a bold move to pull back the curtain on what they view as a deep-state scheme.
Gabbard, wielding her extensive declassification authority, overrode objections from CIA officials and other intelligence agencies to ensure the report saw the light of day with only minor redactions.
Supporting her decision, CIA Director John Ratcliffe threw his weight behind the release, despite dissent within his own agency about the level of exposure, while Attorney General Pam Bondi also endorsed the move.
The report, according to Gabbard, reveals what she terms “the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history,” pointing fingers at high-ranking Obama-era officials for allegedly spinning a false narrative.
Diving into the meat of the 46-page document, Gabbard highlighted five damning findings, including claims that former CIA Director John Brennan and others suppressed evidence and relied on questionable sources to push the Russia collusion story.
She didn’t stop there—Gabbard also declassified communications from top Obama administration figures, which she says laid the groundwork for a multi-year probe aimed at delegitimizing Trump’s presidency.
“Former President Barack Obama led a treasonous conspiracy against Trump,” Gabbard declared, framing the actions as nothing less than an attempt to subvert the democratic process—a charge that’s sure to keep tongues wagging.
Not everyone’s cheering, though—some intelligence community members cautioned that more of the report should have remained under wraps to protect sensitive sources and methods, a concern that’s hard to dismiss outright.
Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, blasted the move, saying it “puts at risk some of the most sensitive sources” and sends a dangerous signal to U.S. allies about trust in intelligence sharing. But is this genuine concern, or just political posturing to shield past missteps?
On the flip side, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, kept it measured but firm, noting a duty to “follow the truth, where it leads,” suggesting the public deserves answers over comfort.
Attorney General Bondi isn’t sitting idle—she’s referred the report’s findings to the Department of Justice and set up a strike force to dig deeper into what’s being called a hoax, signaling potential legal consequences ahead.
Meanwhile, Obama’s office pushed back hard, labeling the claims as “outrageous” and “bizarre,” a dismissal that might not quiet the growing chorus demanding accountability for past actions.
President Trump himself weighed in with characteristic bluntness, stating, “He’s guilty… This was treason,” reflecting a no-holds-barred stance that this wasn’t just politics but an attack on democracy itself. Whether you nod in agreement or roll your eyes, the stakes here couldn’t be higher as this saga unfolds.
