Gabbard's FBI raid cameo unsettles Democrats and fuels controversy

Democrats and even some Trump officials express alarm at Tulsi Gabbard’s presence outside the Fulton County elections office during an FBI raid tied to the 2020 vote, noting the DNI has no domestic law-enforcement authority. The White House defends her as pivotal to election security, while several officials say her appearance is puzzling or politically charged. Lawmakers request briefings on the legal basis for her participation, and experts warn the incident could chill election officials ahead of midterms as Trump continues to push unfounded fraud claims. Gabbard is also slated to address a gathering of state election officials, highlighting ongoing tensions over election integrity.
