Whistleblower Alleges Gabbard Suppressed Intelligence Report for Eight Months

The IC Inspector General hand-carried a classified whistleblower complaint to Congress alleging Gabbard took a highly sensitive intelligence report directly to the White House chief of staff and ordered NSA not to publish it. The report involved an intercepted conversation between two foreign nationals discussing Iran and the influence of a Trump associate. The complaint took eight months to reach Congress despite a 21-day statutory requirement, and portions were redacted under executive privilege claims.
