JUST IN: Tulsi Gabbard Confirms Discovery Of 2020 Election Docs In ‘Burn Bags’

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard informed President Donald Trump on Tuesday that her office has located documents related to the 2020 election in “burn bags” found in the bowels of the FBI earlier this year.

At a cabinet meeting, Gabbard told the president, her colleagues, and members of the press about her office’s intent to publish files that explain, in Trump’s words, how “corrupt” that year’s election was against former President Joe Biden.

Evidence is still being collected, Gabbard explained.

“We are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes in random offices in these bags and in other areas which again speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people,” she said as Trump listened intently.

Gabbard singled out former CIA Director John Brennan and James Clapper, her predecessor, “that have caused, really, immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.”

WATCH:

Gabbard has been at the forefront of the Trump administration’s effort to purge intelligence clearances for former officials who they deem hostile to the president.

Last week the former congresswoman announced she had revoked security clearances for 37 officials, including Clapper, over charges of politicizing the U.S. intelligence community. A DNI memo pointed to Clapper’s involvement in rushing an assessment on the 2016 election which suggested that Trump benefited from alleged Russian interference.

“Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right,” Gabbard wrote on X. “Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold.”

Notable officials on the list include Brett M. Holmgren, former assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research; Richard H. Ledgett, former NSA deputy director; Stephanie O’Sullivan, former principal deputy director of National Intelligence; and Luke R. Hartig, former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, Fox News reported.

Trump has maintained that the 2020 election was stolen, and his involvement in seeking to challenge the results in several swing states formed the basis of the J6 committee’s investigation and several of his criminal cases.

Gabbard said the decision to revoke security clearances was done at the direction of President Trump.

“Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people,” Gabbard wrote on X.
