"She took a lot of heat two days ago because she went in at Pam's insistence, the US president said at the National Prayer Breakfast, a high-profile event of political and religious leaders. She went in and she looked at votes that wanted to be checked out from Georgia. The remarks contradicted Trump's assertion just a day earlier that he did not know why Gabbard had appeared at the FBI raid, and diverged from her account to lawmakers that she had traveled to Fulton county."
"My presence was requested by the president and executed under my broad statutory authority to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence related to election security, Gabbard wrote. The Guardian has previously reported Gabbard is conducting her own review of the 2020 election through her office with Trump's approval working separately from the justice department investigation and that she was sent to observe the raid as part of that effort."
President Trump offered conflicting explanations for Tulsi Gabbard's presence at an FBI raid in Georgia, later saying Attorney General Pam Bondi urged her attendance. He previously said he did not know why she appeared and had also suggested, without evidence, that China interfered in the 2020 election. Gabbard told lawmakers she traveled to Fulton County at Trump's direction and wrote that her presence was requested by the president under her statutory authority over election security. Gabbard has no domestic law enforcement power, and her role in observing the raid is unusual and under heightened scrutiny. She is conducting a separate review of the 2020 election.
