DNI Gabbard reveals 11 ‘ongoing’ investigations into ‘significant’ intel leaks

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed this week that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is currently involved in 11 separate internal investigations as a result of “significant leaks coming out of the intelligence community.”

Gabbard vowed during an appearance on One America News to hold those “trying to undermine” President Donald J. Trump accountable.

“I’ve also noticed the news you’ve made in making criminal referrals regarding people who were leaking information—allegedly to The Washington Post—from the Defense Department,” host Matt Gaetz said. “What can you tell us about those referrals you’ve made? And do you expect the Justice Department to prosecute?

“As I said, the politicization of our intelligence community needs to end to even begin to start to earn the trust of the American people,” Gabbard replied. “The actions that we’ve taken — unfortunately, there continue to be significant leaks coming out of the intelligence community. Not only my organization, but the CIA and others—again, by those who are very directly trying to undermine the agenda and actions of President Trump.”

She reminded viewers that Trump “was elected by the American people with an overwhelming mandate.”

“The way that we start to end this is by bringing about transparency and accountability,” she continued. “In these cases, we conducted our own internal investigation. In three cases, we referred them to the Department of Justice. As you know well, sometimes — or historically — we could refer things to the Department of Justice, and they would sit on a desk somewhere or get lost in the paper shuffle. And you end up having to wait, and you wonder, Well, is anything ever going to happen?”

“Well, I can tell you, with the leadership we have there now, not only has there been action taken, but they have been actioned by the FBI and are going through immediately to investigate these cases with the intent of bringing about prosecution,” Gabbard said.

The Trump official also revealed that a number of other investigations are ongoing.

“We have 11 other internal investigations ongoing now within ODNI, and we intend to continue to carry them out to completion to hold those who are illegally leaking classified information, trying to undermine the President, politicizing intelligence — hold them accountable. Because this has got to end,” Gabbard said.
