"Gabbard's inquiry, which relies on evidence gathered last week in an FBI raid on an elections facility in Fulton County, Georgia, is separate from another Department of Justice (DOJ) inquiry that is also examining data gathered in that operation. The involvement of the Office of the DNI is unusual, as the head of that agency typically focuses on military intelligence and foreign relations, and has no domestic law enforcement powers."
"Nevertheless, Gabbard took part in the FBI raid, citing her "broad statutory authority to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence related to election security." She was involved in the raid at Trump's request, she noted in the same statement. Gabbard's involvement may suggest that her inquiry will focus on allegations of foreign nations interfering with the results of Georgia's election, one of many falsehoods Trump has peddled since losing the state to former President Joe Biden, becoming the first Republican to lose Georgia in a presidential race since 1992."
Tulsi Gabbard, serving as Director of National Intelligence, is conducting an independent inquiry into President Donald Trump's debunked claims that foreign interference caused his 2020 loss in Georgia. The inquiry uses evidence seized during a recent FBI raid on a Fulton County elections facility and is separate from a Department of Justice review of the same material. Gabbard participated in the raid, citing her statutory authority to coordinate and analyze election-security intelligence and noting she acted at Trump's request. The inquiry appears likely to focus on alleged foreign interference despite prior investigations finding no evidence that foreign actors changed the 2020 outcome.
