本周早些时候，美国政府监督机构向国会议员透露，去年由美国情报界一名举报人提交的、目前正受到议员审查的投诉，指控高度机密的情报报告被”出于政治目的限制分发”，且一名情报机构律师未向司法部报告潜在犯罪行为。
2025年5月收到的关于国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德的举报人投诉，其大致内容已由情报界监察长克里斯托弗·福克斯在周一致参众两院情报委员会的信件中概述。
加巴德办公室周二晚间发布了福克斯的信件。福克斯未详细说明所涉情报报告的内容或举报人指称的潜在犯罪细节。他在信中指出，该情报报告是情报界监察长收到的”迄今为止最敏感的”报告，作为”紧急关切”类投诉，通常只能向由国会参众两院民主党和共和党领袖及情报委员会主席组成的”八人小组”进行口头简报。

《华尔街日报》最先报道了该投诉的存在，而”八人小组”议员已于周二获得投诉副本。
福克斯在信中称，去年6月对投诉进行审查时，其前任塔玛拉·约翰逊确定，若投诉内容属实，将符合”紧急关切”的标准，这意味着”八人小组”必须获得简报。但约翰逊当时无法确定这些指控的可信度。
举报人随后选择直接向国会情报委员会分享投诉，这一选项受联邦法律保护。在分享投诉前，举报人必须从国家情报总监办公室获得安全指导，以安全传输机密投诉。
2025年6月9日，约翰逊在收到新证据后发布备忘录，认定举报人第一项指控（即一份报告因政治原因被扣留）似乎不可信，但她无法评估第二项指控（即情报界未向司法部报告犯罪行为）的可信度。信中称，举报人仍试图将投诉递交给议员，而监察长自6月起”至少每月一次”向国家情报总监办公室询问如何安全提交投诉。
福克斯表示，他在10月确认任职后，被告知国家情报总监办公室总法律顾问称”投诉分类的复杂性”导致向举报人提供必要安全指导以提交给国会的工作被延误。福克斯称他继续推动获取指导，并在12月与加巴德会面时，加巴德表示对此事不知情”并承诺尽快提供指导”。
举报人律师周二晚间告诉CNN，除”八人小组”外，他尚未收到向更广泛的情报委员会分享投诉的安全指导。
“他们还提出了行政特权问题，对我来说，行政特权问题意味着此事以某种方式涉及白宫，”安德鲁·巴卡伊说。
在《华尔街日报》周一报道举报人的投诉后的第二天，”八人小组”获得了投诉副本。
众议院情报委员会高级民主党人吉姆·希姆斯众议员在查看投诉后告诉CNN，他”对投诉内容及向国会报告的延误持续存在担忧。我将继续追查此事，确保进行适当监督。”

A complaint filed last year by a US intelligence community whistleblower that is now being scrutinized by lawmakers includes claims that the distribution of a highly classified intelligence report had been “restricted for political purposes” and that an intelligence agency lawyer had failed to report a potential crime to the Justice Department, a government watchdog told lawmakers earlier this week.
The Intelligence Community Inspector General provided the broad outline in a Monday letter to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees of the whistleblower complaint it received in May 2025 concerning Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
The letter from Christopher Fox was released by Gabbard’s office late Tuesday. Fox did not detail the substance of the intelligence report or the alleged crime referenced by the whistleblower. The intelligence report at issue is the “most sensitive to date” that has ever been received by the IC inspector general as part of an “urgent concern” complaint, Fox wrote, and would ordinarily only be briefed verbally to the Gang of 8 composed of the top Democrats and Republicans in each chamber of congress and the leaders of the intelligence committees.

The existence of the complaint was first reported by the Wall Street Journal and Gang of 8 lawmakers [were given access to the complaint itself on Tuesday].
Upon reviewing the complaint last June, Fox’s predecessor Tamara Johnson determined that it would meet the “urgent concern” threshold if it were true, a determination meaning that the Gang of 8 would need to be briefed, Fox wrote. But Johnson was unable to determine the credibility of the claims at the time, according to the letter.
The whistleblower then elected to share their complaint directly with the congressional intelligence committees, an option protected under [federal law]. Before sharing a complaint, whistleblowers are required to get security guidance from ODNI to transmit classified complaints securely.
On June 9, 2025, Johnson issued a memo after receiving new evidence finding that while the first allegation by the whistleblower — that a report was withheld for political reasons — did not appear credible, she was unable to assess the credibility of the second allegation, that the IC had failed to report a crime to Department of Justice. The whistleblower still sought to transmit the complaint to lawmakers and the IG kept inquiring “at least monthly” to ODNI since June about how to do so securely, the letter says.
When he was confirmed in October, Fox says he was told by ODNI’s general counsel that “complexity in the classification” of the complaint had contributed to the delay in providing the whistleblower with the necessary security guidance to send it to Congress. Fox says he continued to push for the guidance, and that when he met with Gabbard in December she said she had been unaware of the issue “and committed to providing the guidance as soon as practicable.”
The whistleblower’s lawyer told CNN on Tuesday night that he has yet to receive security guidance on sharing the complaint with the broader intelligence committees, beyond just the Gang of 8.
“They’re also flagging executive privilege concerns, and for me, executive privilege concerns means that this somehow involves the White House,” Andrew Bakaj said.
The day after the Monday Wall Street Journal report on the whistleblower report, the Gang of 8 was given access to a copy of the complaint.
Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on House intelligence committee, told CNN after seeing the complaint that he had “ongoing concerns about both the contents and the delay in it being reported to Congress. I will continue to pursue this matter to ensure that proper oversight is conducted.”
