Tulsi Gabbard, now serving as the Director of National Intelligence, has been at the center of breaking headlines over the past week as she escalated claims against leaders from the Obama-era intelligence community. In a detailed new report featured by Times of India, Gabbard alleged a coordinated conspiracy by figures including former President Barack Obama, ex-FBI Director James Comey, former DNI James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan to delegitimize Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory. The briefing, delivered on July twenty-third, has ignited discussions across political and intelligence circles and added new intensity to ongoing debates about accountability and transparency in U.S. intelligence oversight.
This week, Tulsi Gabbard also oversaw operational successes announced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The National Counterterrorism Center, under her direction, provided intelligence that led to the arrest of Jason Duncker, a Sinaloa Cartel member near Monterrey, Mexico, on October second. Duncker was responsible for trafficking more than seventy-five kilograms of cocaine into the United States and funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars back into cartel networks. These efforts were highlighted in an ODNI press release which praised analysts for their dedication and effectiveness, especially as many staff worked unpaid during a congressional shutdown. The statement underscored Gabbard’s hardline stance against transnational gangs and cartels, following President Trump’s move to designate these organizations as foreign terrorist entities.
Last month, Tulsi Gabbard welcomed George Wes Street as the new Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, after Senate confirmation. This newly announced appointment signals a major shift in intelligence leadership and a focus on modernizing counterintelligence operations.
Tulsi Gabbard’s leadership is also marked by a sweeping internal reform, as reported by the Business Standard. She announced a reduction of more than forty percent of personnel from her office, describing it as the first major overhaul since the creation of the ODNI. Gabbard stated that this restructuring aims to improve efficiency and streamline intelligence operations amid growing global threats.
Meanwhile, Gabbard spoke candidly on Miranda Devine’s Pod Force One podcast about her experiences being surveilled at airports, referencing her own placement on a TSA watchlist prior to her appointment. She described those incidents as part of a broader conversation about federal surveillance and personal liberty in the post-Patriot Act era.
