"The letter to attorney Andrew Bakaj is the latest escalation in the back-and-forth accusations over the classified complaint, which alleges that Gabbard withheld top-secret material for political reasons. Two inspectors general for the intelligence community reviewed the claim and found that particular allegation did not appear to be credible. Gabbard has denied any wrongdoing and said she did all she could to ensure the report reached Congress."
"The anonymous author of the complaint works for a U.S. intelligence agency and in May filed a report claiming that Gabbard withheld classified information for political reasons. Gabbard oversees the coordination of 18 intelligence agencies. The complaint made two allegations, according to a memo sent to lawmakers by the current inspector general, Christopher Fox: The first is that the distribution of a highly classified intelligence report was restricted for political purposes,"
The anonymous complaint, filed in May by a U.S. intelligence employee, alleges that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard withheld top-secret material for political reasons and that her general counsel failed to report a potential crime. Two inspectors general reviewed the claims; one concluded the allegation that Gabbard distributed classified information along political lines did not appear credible, while the other could not assess the credibility of the accusation involving the general counsel. Gabbard denies wrongdoing and says she ensured the report reached Congress. Democrats criticized the eight-month delay before select lawmakers received the complaint.
