Gabbard says Trump asked her to be on-site for Atlanta election raid
TL;DR Summary
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told lawmakers that Trump personally asked her to be on-site during the FBI’s raid on a Fulton County, Georgia elections office and she later facilitated a brief call between Trump and some FBI agents involved; she denied pressuring the agents and said her actions were within her statutory authority to coordinate election security. Democrats on the intelligence panels say the disclosure raises questions about presidential involvement in domestic law enforcement, while the White House declined to comment.
