- 投诉称情报传播存在政治干预
- 加巴德被指控阻碍投诉传播
华盛顿,2月7日(路透社) – 美国国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德周六驳斥了国会议员的指控,称她试图阻止国会获取一份举报人投诉,她表示一旦得知需要提供安全指导以发布该投诉,便”立即采取了行动”。
去年5月,一名匿名政府官员向情报界监察长提交了一份绝密投诉,指控美国情报主管办公室出于政治原因试图阻止某些机密情报的常规传播。

加巴德是去年由共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普任命的。
举报人律师安德鲁·巴卡伊11月致加巴德办公室的一封信也已分发给众议院和参议院情报委员会,信中指控加巴德未能提供处理该投诉所需的安全指导,从而阻碍了将5月份的投诉传递给议员。
参议院情报委员会副主席、民主党人马克·华纳等人士表示,根据法律,加巴德领导的国家情报总监办公室应在21天内将5月份的投诉转交给国会,而不是等到2月份才行动。

加巴德在周六的社交媒体帖子中指责民主党人散布”公然谎言”。
她在X平台上写道,在特朗普及其民主党前任乔·拜登两届政府任内,历任监察长均未发现该投诉可信。加巴德称,21天的期限”仅适用于监察长认定投诉既紧急又显然可信的情况”。
路透社无法核实原始投诉的内容。《卫报》和《纽约时报》曾报道称,该投诉与处理一名与特朗普亲近人士的情报拦截有关。
加巴德还写道,她此前并未收到监察长的通知,举报人”选择向国会提交投诉,这将要求我发布安全指示”。她表示,一旦在12月4日得知需要提供安全指导以与议员分享该投诉,便”立即采取了行动”。

- Summary
- Complaint alleged political interference in intelligence dissemination
- Gabbard is accused of hindering dissemination of the complaint
WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) – U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Saturday disputed claims by lawmakers that she sought to block Congress from accessing a whistleblower complaint, saying she took “immediate action” once notified of the need to provide security guidance for its release.
A top-secret complaint filed with the intelligence community’s inspector general last May by an anonymous government official alleged that the U.S. spy chief’s office sought to prevent the routine dissemination of certain classified intelligence for political reasons.

Gabbard was appointed to her post by Republican President Donald Trump last year.
A November letter from Andrew Bakaj, the whistleblower’s lawyer, to Gabbard’s office, which was also shared with the House of Representatives and Senate intelligence committees, alleged that Gabbard had hindered the dissemination of the May complaint to lawmakers by failing to provide necessary security guidance on how to handle it.
Democrats such as Senator Mark Warner, the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, have said that Gabbard’s agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, was required under law to relay the May complaint to Congress within 21 days rather than waiting until February.

In a social media post on Saturday, Gabbard accused Democrats of spreading a “blatant lie.”
Successive inspectors general spanning the presidencies of Trump and his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden did not find the complaint to be credible, Gabbard wrote on X. The 21-day requirement “only applies when a complaint is determined by the Inspector General to be both urgent AND apparently credible,” Gabbard wrote.
Reuters could not verify the contents of the original complaint. The Guardian newspaper and the New York Times have reported that it was related to the handling of an intelligence intercept related to someone close to Trump.
Gabbard also wrote that she previously had not been informed by the inspector generals that the whistleblower had “chosen to send the complaint to Congress, which would require me to issue security instructions.” Gabbard wrote that once made aware of the need to provide security guidance to share the complaint with lawmakers on December 4, she took “immediate action” to do so.
