President Donald Trump commended outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for her efforts in reforming the US intelligence community. Trump highlighted Gabbard’s role in exposing evidence related to the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax” and declassifying records linked to significant historical investigations. He praised her for reducing staffing at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence by 40% and revoking security clearances of officials involved in past probes into Russian interference in US elections.
Gabbard was also acknowledged for overseeing the declassification of documents concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Trump mentioned that she had declassified several historically significant documents of public interest. Additionally, the administration is preparing to release more classified material on “extraterrestrial” subjects and unidentified aerial phenomena, responding to increased public curiosity on the matter.
Furthermore, Trump credited Gabbard with aiding in preventing the entry of terrorists and cartel members into the US, though specific details were not provided. He expressed gratitude towards Gabbard during a White House Cabinet meeting, mentioning that the administration was keeping her husband in their thoughts as he was reportedly unwell.
