Whistleblower Report Ties Trump Ally to Iran-Related Intercept, Sparking Oversight Clash
TL;DR Summary
A whistle-blower report describes an NSA intercept of a call between two foreign nationals discussing someone close to President Trump; Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, restricted access to the report and briefed the White House, while the inspector general cleared her of wrongdoing and Congress weighs how much of the underlying intelligence should be shared, amid ongoing questions about its credibility and significance (the content was not definitively identified and could involve Iran).
