US EditionAttorney says Gabbard is holding up a complaint about her actions, which her office denies
A classified whistleblower complaint against DNI Tulsi Gabbard was delayed for eight months amid disputes over classification and legal review before delivery to top congressional leaders.
- On Feb. 3, 2026, the inspector general's office handed a months-old complaint to the Gang of Eight lawmakers because it contains classified details, with copies being hand-delivered this week.
- Negotiations stretched six months with pressure from lawmakers as federal law permits referring complaints to the Gang of Eight even if deemed non-credible, Andrew Bakaj and Christopher Fox said.
- Some lawmakers and their staff were permitted to read copies on Monday, and Inspector General representatives plan to brief remaining lawmakers on Wednesday, while the complaint alleges Gabbard's general counsel failed to report a potential crime to the Department of Justice.
- Sen. Mark Warner said Tuesday he expects to see the complaint soon and urged Tulsi Gabbard to address his questions before the Senate Intelligence Committee soon.
- Gabbard, who coordinates the work of the nation's 18 intelligence agencies, appeared last week at an FBI search in Georgia and says President Trump asked her to be present, while her office denies withholding the complaint.
