The Trump administration has disclosed to select lawmakers a classified government whistleblower complaint against spy chief Tulsi Gabbard, her office announced this week, but significant portions were redacted due to claims of executive privilege, according to people familiar with the matter.
The redactions have concealed names of individuals as well as other information that makes the full meaning and significance of the complaint difficult to decipher, the people said. One of the people said some of the allegations within the complaint also appeared to be speculative in nature.
The Wall Street Journal that the complaint against Gabbard was filed with the intelligence community’s inspector general last May, but had stalled for eight months within Gabbard’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Her office hadn’t shared it with Congress until this week, after the Journal’s report.
In a memo sent to lawmakers on Monday and posted online by Gabbard’s office, the intelligence community inspector general, Chris Fox, wrote that the whistleblower had alleged that Gabbard had restricted the sharing of a specific, highly classified intelligence report, for political purposes.
A spokeswoman for Gabbard’s office has dismissed the allegations against Gabbard as “baseless and politically motivated,” and said that the claims pertaining to Gabbard were deemed by the former acting inspector general to be not credible.
