Gabbard Declares War On Intelligence Leakers
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has launched a major offensive against those responsible for unauthorized leaks of classified information. The former Democratic representative, now serving in the Trump administration, detailed multiple recent breaches that have compromised national security operations.
Gabbard’s announcement comes just weeks after being sworn in as DNI, highlighting the urgency with which the Trump administration is approaching this threat. She made it clear that politically motivated leaks will not be tolerated under her watch.
Our nation’s Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated.
Unfortunately, such leaks have become commonplace with no…

Specific Leaks Targeted By Intelligence Chief
In her statement, Gabbard provided concrete examples of recent unauthorized disclosures that have damaged national security. So the Democrats can’t attempt to paint her as someone who unfairly targets employees…for fun. Which is what they’re saying about DOGE.
Among the examples she released were incidents of classified information being shared with left-leaning outlets like the Huffington Post and sensitive details about Israel-Iran relations being leaked to the Washington Post.
Additional leaks mentioned included unauthorized disclosures to NBC regarding U.S.-Russia relations and information on National Counterintelligence and Security Center activities shared with The Record. Each example represents a serious breach of national security protocols and the public trust.
“Our nation’s Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission,” Gabbard stated firmly. The no-nonsense approach signals a clear departure from what many conservatives have seen as a politicized intelligence community under previous administrations.

Republican Support And Accountability Measures
Gabbard’s crackdown has earned strong praise from key Republican figures on Capitol Hill. Senator Tom Cotton publicly supported the initiative, commending her efforts to end the weaponization of the Intelligence Community against American citizens.
The DNI made it unequivocally clear that those responsible for leaks will face consequences. Her warning that unauthorized disclosure of classified material constitutes a legal breach serves as a stark reminder of the serious nature of these offenses.
Trump’s selection of Gabbard, who previously served in the military and has been critical of government overreach, appears strategic in addressing longstanding concerns about intelligence community accountability. Her unique background as a former Democratic representative who broke with her party over principles has positioned her well for this role.
Tulsi is already one of the best parts of this Trump unity government!
