华盛顿— 国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德(Tulsi Gabbard)的发言人表示,在上周联邦调查局(FBI)搜查佐治亚州富尔顿县选举总部期间,总统特朗普和司法部长帕姆·邦迪(Pam Bondi)均要求加巴德在场。此前,加巴德与特朗普先生就她为何在场给出了看似矛盾的解释。
“正如总统所说,他要求加巴德主任到场,”加巴德发言人亚历克莎·亨宁(Alexa Henning)在X平台上写道,“司法部长邦迪也要求她到场。两件事可以同时成立。”
加巴德在周一给民主党议员的一封信中表示,她的出席“是应总统的要求”。她还称自己“促成”了总统与执行搜查任务的FBI探员之间的一次简短通话,尽管她也表示总统并未向探员下达任何指示。
加巴德出席此次搜查行动引发了民主党人的强烈批评,他们认为这位情报主管不应介入国内执法行动。参议院情报委员会最高民主党议员、弗吉尼亚州参议员马克·华纳(Mark Warner)本周早些时候呼吁加巴德宣誓作证,称她“需要解释为何认为自己介入国内刑事调查是恰当的”。
周四上午在国家祈祷早餐会上,总统称加巴德是“应帕姆的要求”出席搜查行动的,指的是邦迪。
“两天前她因为应帕姆的要求到场而受到很多指责,”特朗普先生表示,“她去检查了佐治亚州需要核查的选票。他们问,‘她为什么要这么做?’对吧,帕姆?‘她为什么要这么做?’因为帕姆希望她这么做。”
但总统本周早些时候也表示,他不知道加巴德为何在场。在周三接受全国广播公司新闻采访时,当被问及加巴德为何出现在搜查现场时,特朗普称“我不知道”,但他同时表示“很多作弊行为来自国际作弊”。
尽管没有广泛舞弊的证据,特朗普仍继续坚称2020年总统选举存在舞弊。
富尔顿县官员要求FBI归还2020年选举选票及其他查获材料。周三,富尔顿县委员会主席罗布·皮茨(Robb Pitts)在新闻发布会上表示,该县官员已正式要求联邦法官下令归还这些选举材料。
“这是一个严重的案件,”皮茨说,“我们的宪法在这场斗争中岌岌可危。宪法是国家的法律,而非建议。”
佐治亚州是2020年总统选举的关键州。乔·拜登(Joe Biden)以不到1.2万张选票的优势获胜,这一结果经数次重新计票和审计得到确认。特朗普在2024年赢得了佐治亚州。
Gabbard spokesperson says Trump and Bondi both asked intel chief to be present for FBI Fulton County search

Washington— A spokesperson for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says both President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi asked Gabbard to be present for an FBI search of the elections headquarters in Fulton County, Georgia, last week, after Gabbard and Mr. Trump offered seemingly conflicting explanations for her presence.
“As the president said, he asked for Director Gabbard to be there,” Gabbard spokesperson Alexa Henning wrote on X. “Attorney General Bondi also asked for her to be there. Two things can be true at the same time.”
In a letter to Democratic lawmakers Monday, Gabbard said her presence “was requested by the president.” She also said she “facilitated” a brief phone call between the president and FBI agents who carried out the search, although she also said the president didn’t offer the agents any directives.
Gabbard’s attendance at the search elicited strong criticism from Democrats, who said the intelligence chief should not be involved in domestic law enforcement operations. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, earlier this week called on Gabbard to testify under oath, saying she “needs to explain why she believed it was appropriate to involve herself in a domestic criminal investigation.”
On Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, the president said Gabbard attended the search “at Pam’s insistence,” referring to Bondi.
“She took a lot of heat two days ago because she went in, at Pam’s insistence, she went in, and she looked at votes that want to be checked out from Georgia,” Mr. Trump said. “They say, ‘Why is she doing it?’ Right, Pam? ‘Why is she doing it?’ Because Pam wanted her to do it.”
But the president also said earlier this week that he didn’t know why Gabbard was there. In an interview with NBC News on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said “I don’t know” when asked why she was present for the search. “But a lot of the cheating comes from, it’s international cheating,” he said.
Mr. Trump has continued to insist, despite no evidence of widespread fraud, that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
Fulton County officials are demanding the return of 2020 election ballots and other materials the FBI seized. On Wednesday, Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts said during a news conference that county officials have formally asked a federal judge to order the return of the election materials.
“This is a serious case,” Pitts said. “Our Constitution is at stake in this fight. The Constitution is the law of the land. It is not a suggestion.”
Georgia was a critical state in the 2020 presidential election. Joe Biden won by just under 12,000 votes, a result that was confirmed by several recounts and audits. Mr. Trump won Georgia in 2024.
