Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated Sunday that whistleblowers have started coming forward following the release of documents and a memo exposing what she described as the Obama administration’s efforts to undermine President Donald Trump after his 2016 election victory.
On Friday, Gabbard released a collection of documents and a memo outlining what she called a “years-long coup” aimed at destabilizing Trump’s presidency after his defeat of Hillary Clinton. She said the whistleblowers were individuals “disgusted” by what they saw as a “treasonous conspiracy” allegedly orchestrated by then-President Barack Obama in response to Clinton’s loss.
“We have whistleblowers … coming forward now, after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community who are so disgusted by what happened,” Gabbard told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo. She added that these individuals want to see justice delivered.
Gabbard emphasized the importance of holding those responsible accountable, stating that all evidence would be provided to the Department of Justice. She said, “There must be indictments. Those responsible, no matter how powerful they are, must be held accountable.”
She also referenced the 2020 guilty plea of former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith for falsifying information in a FISA application related to Trump’s campaign, criticizing the light sentence he received. Gabbard described the alleged conspiracy as “very far-reaching,” accusing involved parties of attempting to undermine democracy and override the will of the American people.
