- Tulsi Gabbard attended FBI raid of Fulton County elections office — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard attended an FBI raid of the Fulton County elections office. When Deputy AG Todd Blanche was asked by CNN whether this was appropriate, he defended the presence of a politically appointed official at an election-related law enforcement operation, drawing a comparison to classified documents cases.
- Tulsi Gabbard attends FBI raid on Fulton County elections office — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was present during the FBI raid on Fulton County's elections office. Her presence at the operation raised questions about national security involvement and potential political interference in the investigation. Gabbard is conducting a separate review of the matter, independent from the FBI investigation. The Guardian reported that Trump called Gabbard and agents during the operation.
- Tulsi Gabbard launches parallel ODNI review of 2020 election, participates in FBI raid on Georgia election center — Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, is conducting her own review of the 2020 election with Trump's approval, separate from the DOJ criminal investigation. Trump directed her to observe an FBI raid on Fulton County, Georgia's election center on February 3, where agents seized ballots, voting machine data, and voter rolls. The ODNI review, authorized under election-integrity authority, has focused on voting machine vulnerabilities and alleged foreign interference. Georgia Democratic lawmakers have requested an inquiry into Gabbard's presence at the raid, questioning whether a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus exists.
- Trump offers contradictory accounts of Tulsi Gabbard's presence at FBI raid in Georgia — At the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Trump stated that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard attended an FBI raid of a Georgia election center at Attorney General Pam Bondi's urging to examine votes. This contradicted Trump's statement the previous day that he did not know why Gabbard was present, and diverged from Gabbard's own account to lawmakers that she attended at Trump's express direction. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed Trump's earlier remarks were taken out of context, but the shifting explanations intensified scrutiny of Gabbard's unusual role in a domestic law enforcement operation outside her formal authority.
