Gabbard Issues Criminal Referrals Against Multiple Intel Officials
"There seems to be more criminal referals coming from Tulsi Gabbard then coming from the Attorney General," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard revealed that she has, so far, referred two intelligence community officials to the DOJ for criminal prosecution over their alleged efforts to leak classified information to media outlets.
The two unnamed individuals in the intelligence community are suspected of leaking classified information to The New York Times and the Washington Post - although the details of the leak remain unclear.
"Politicization of our intelligence and leaking classified information puts our nation's security at risk and must end," Gabbard stated. "Those who leak classified information will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
"Today, I referred two intelligence community leakers to the Department of Justice for criminal referral, with a third criminal referral on its way, which includes the recent illegal leak to the Washington Post," Gabbard continued. "These deep-state criminals leaked classified information for partisan political purposes to undermine President Trump's agenda."
