Tulsi Gabbard is expected to release the results of several high-profile investigations before stepping down from her position as President Donald Trump\u2019s top intelligence official, according to a report published over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Late last week, Gabbard announced she was resigning her position as director of national intelligence, citing an illness suffered by her husband, Alexander.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer wonderful husband, Abraham, has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, and she, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no doubt he will soon be better than ever,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cTulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before leaving office, Gabbard plans to release findings from several major investigations, including probes into Havana Syndrome \u2014 formerly referred to as Anomalous Health Incidents \u2014 the COVID-19 pandemic, alleged weaponization of the federal government, the 2020 presidential election, and other matters, according to an administration official.<\/p>\n
The findings are expected to be released in weekly installments over the next month, the Daily Wire reported.<\/p>\n
A second intelligence official told The Daily Wire that Tulsi Gabbard oversaw the declassification of more than 500,000 pages of previously unreleased government records as of May 2026.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Gabbard\u2019s \u201cODNI 2.0\u201d restructuring initiative also reduced staffing and administrative overhead within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence by more than 40%, a move officials claimed would save taxpayers an estimated $700 million annually.<\/p>\n
The declassified material reportedly included records connected to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as files concerning the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Biden administration documents tied to the federal government\u2019s \u201cStrategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabbard has also publicly pushed to spotlight intelligence and law enforcement actions connected to investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, which critics on the Right frequently refer to as the \u201cRussia hoax,\u201d along with claims that officials in the administration of Barack Obama improperly used intelligence agencies to undermine Trump after his 2016 election victory, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Gabbard\u2019s office put out a statement that she had completed the largest intelligence community-wide \u201ctechnology and cybersecurity modernization and investment effort\u201d in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past year, we have taken meaningful steps to begin fulfilling that responsibility through the largest IC-wide technology investment and modernization effort in history,\u201d Gabbard said at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s Intelligence Community is moving faster and more decisively on cybersecurity modernization and investments in IT than ever before, delivering stronger defenses, greater efficiency, and real cost savings for the American people,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Trump could face a difficult confirmation fight in attempting to install another director of national intelligence, as tensions between the White House and Senate Republicans continue to intensify.<\/p>\n
The friction has grown in recent weeks following Trump\u2019s endorsements against Sen. John Cornyn of Texas and Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, moves that further strained relations between the president and portions of the GOP establishment.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, however, Gabbard said she remains fully committed to her role.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am fully committed to ensuring a smooth and thorough transition over the coming weeks so that you and your team experience no disruption in leadership or momentum,\u201d she wrote in her letter to Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
