"Calls rang out on Thursday for President Donald Trump to fire his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, after a Wall Street Journal report found she posted the name of an undercover CIA agent working on Russia to social media without informing the CIA. Last week, Gabbard posted a list of 37 names of former and current intelligence officers to X who she stripped of their security clearances and accused of betraying their oath to the Constitution."
"Three other people with knowledge of the situation said that Gabbard's office didn't meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list, reported The Wall Street Journal, later adding: The national intelligence office didn't seek the CIA's input about the composition of the list, and the CIA had no foreknowledge of Gabbard's posting on X the following day that revealed the names, including that of the covered CIA officer, according to two of the people familiar with the events."
Calls arose to fire Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard after she posted the name of an undercover CIA agent on social media without informing the CIA. Gabbard posted a list of 37 former and current intelligence officers on X, stripping them of security clearances and accusing them of betraying their oath. She advanced an allegation that Barack Obama and administration officials fabricated intelligence tying Trump's 2016 campaign to Russia. Multiple sources said Gabbard's office did not meaningfully consult the CIA before releasing the list, and the CIA had no foreknowledge of the posting. A spokesperson said the revocations targeted individuals who weaponized or leaked classified intelligence. The incident prompted immediate calls for her removal.
