美国国家情报总监图尔西·嘉巴德（Tulsi Gabbard）上周安排唐纳德·特朗普总统与在佐治亚州富尔顿县对一处选举办公室进行有争议搜查的FBI探员进行了通话，两名熟悉此次通话的消息人士向CNN透露。
这一不同寻常的通话——《纽约时报》首先报道了此事——凸显了特朗普对2020年选举涉嫌选民欺诈调查的参与和兴趣。一名消息人士称，特朗普指示嘉巴德前往亚特兰大参与此次搜查，而嘉巴德本人在周一致众议院和参议院情报委员会高层民主党人的一封信中证实了这一点。
“我的出席是应总统的要求，并且是在我广泛的法定授权范围内进行的，以协调、整合和分析与选举安全相关的情报，包括反间谍（CI）、外国和其他恶意影响以及网络安全，”嘉巴德写道。“FBI的情报/反间谍部门是我监督的18个要素之一。”
消息人士称，嘉巴德在搜查后的第二天与这些探员会面，期间她打电话给特朗普了解情况，并询问他是否想与这些探员交谈。一名消息人士表示，总统同意并对探员们进行了简短的“鼓舞士气讲话”，坚称谈话仅此而已。
在她致参议员马克·华纳（Mark Warner）和众议员吉姆·希姆斯（Jim Himes）的信中，嘉巴德表示，在访问FBI亚特兰大现场办公室期间，她“促成了总统与这些探员的一次简短通话，以亲自感谢他们的工作”。
“他没有提出任何问题，他和我也没有发出任何指示，”嘉巴德写道。她表示，她办公室的总法律顾问认为她的行动符合其法定权限，并且特朗普“责成国家情报总监办公室在我的法定权限下采取一切适当行动，以确保我们选举的完整性，并特别指示我监督富尔顿县搜查令的执行”。
特朗普毫不掩饰他认为自己在2020年赢得了佐治亚州（尽管事实并非如此），并且希望他的政府调整选举程序以防范他所认为的猖獗欺诈。在周一接受前FBI副局长丹·博宁诺（Dan Bongino）采访时，特朗普再次错误地声称过去选举结果存在错误，并呼吁共和党人“将投票全国化”。民主党选举官员一直准备应对联邦政府可能在中期选举中的干预。
“共和党人应该说，我们想要接管，我们应该接管投票，至少在15个地方接管投票。共和党人应该将投票全国化，”总统表示。
“我们有一些州非常腐败，他们在计算选票。我们有一些我赢得的州，但结果显示我没有赢。现在你们将在佐治亚州看到一些有趣的事情，因为他们通过法院命令获得了选票，你们会看到一些有趣的事情出现，”他补充道。
FBI拒绝对此次通话及嘉巴德在富尔顿县的角色置评。在回应CNN的置评请求时，嘉巴德办公室仅提供了她致国会的信件。CNN已联系白宫请求置评。
前FBI高级官员告诉CNN，他们想不出美国最高情报官员在这样一个政治敏感案件中直接与FBI探员互动的先例。
“现任和前任FBI官员对嘉巴德在富尔顿县的行为普遍感到厌恶，”一名前FBI高级官员在匿名情况下对CNN表示，以避免报复。
“没有先例，也没有借口。这是一场表演，并且损害了法治，”前官员表示。
至少有一名现任特朗普政府官员此前试图淡化特朗普的参与，并声称他不知道嘉巴德为何出现在搜查现场。司法部副部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）本周末告诉CNN的达娜·巴什（Dana Bash），据他所知，特朗普并未参与富尔顿县的搜查。
“我不相信他参与了，”布兰奇说。“这是一项刑事大陪审团调查，除了你刚才说的，我无法对此发表评论。”
当被问及特朗普暗示他了解此案的言论时，布兰奇回应道：“我不知道总统是否了解情况。我刚才说的是，这是一项刑事调查，因此根据法律必须严格保密。这是一项大陪审团调查。”
但周一晚间在福克斯新闻上，布兰奇表示他不反对特朗普与参与此事的FBI探员交谈。
“总统整个星期都在与执法部门交谈。他与努力工作的探员交谈并不让我感到惊讶，实际上我很欣赏这一点，这很棒，”布兰奇说。
在FBI探员执行搜查令搜查位于亚特兰大附近的富尔顿县选举办公室、带走700箱选举材料后，周三有人看到嘉巴德出现在现场。当时，一名熟悉此事的消息人士向CNN透露，此次搜查与司法部试图获取投票数据以及调查该县涉嫌欺诈的行为有关。富尔顿县一名官员随后宣布，该县将质疑FBI搜查和扣押2020年选举记录的合法性。
布兰奇告诉CNN，他不知道嘉巴德为何在场。
“我不知道国家情报总监为何在场，”布兰奇周日表示。“她并不参与大陪审团调查，但她肯定是我们选举完整性工作的关键部分，以确保我们拥有自由公正的选举。她在这方面是专家，这也是她和她的团队每天重点关注的内容。”
近几个月来，嘉巴德在推进特朗普的选举完整性优先事项方面开辟了自己的道路，在与总统关系经历一段艰难时期后，提升了自己在政府和总统心中的地位。
政府内部众所周知，嘉巴德与中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·拉特克利夫（John Ratcliffe）关系紧张。
“这一点已经缓和，他们现在合作得很好，但这也是图尔西专注于（选举完整性）的原因，”一名白宫高级官员告诉CNN。该官员补充说，这有助于让每个高层官员都有不同的工作重点领域。
在富尔顿县之行后，嘉巴德原定于周五在华盛顿特区参加一个选举官员会议。两党选举官员都希望特朗普政府有人能解释政府在富尔顿县的行动。但据会议发言人称，由于“日程冲突”，嘉巴德最终没有出席。
CNN的霍姆斯·莱布兰德（Holmes Lybrand）和肖恩·林加斯（Sean Lyngaas）对此报道有贡献。
DNI Gabbard put Trump on the phone with FBI agents who searched Fulton County elections office, sources say

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard put President Donald Trump on the phone with some of the FBI agents who conducted a controversial search of an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, last week, two sources familiar with the call told CNN.
The unusual call — first reported by The New York Times — underscores Trump’s involvement and interest in the probe of alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election. One source said Trump directed Gabbard to go to Atlanta for the search, and Gabbard herself confirmed that in a letter to top Democrats on the House and Senate Intelligence committees Monday.
“My presence was requested by the President and executed under my broad statutory authority to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence related to election security, including counterintelligence (CI), foreign and other malign influence and cybersecurity,” Gabbard wrote. “The FBI’s Intelligence/Counterintelligence divisions are one of the 18 elements that I oversee.”
Gabbard met with the agents the day after the search, sources said, and during the meeting, she called Trump to check in and asked whether he wanted to talk to the agents. The president agreed and gave the agents a brief “pep talk,” one of the sources said, insisting the conversation did not go beyond that.
In her letter, to Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Himes, Gabbard said that while visiting the FBI’s Atlanta field office, she “facilitated a brief phone call for the President to thank the agents personally for their work.”
“He did not ask any questions, nor did he or I issue any directives,” Gabbard wrote. She said her office’s general counsel found her actions to be within her lawful authority, and that Trump “tasked ODNI with taking all appropriate actions under my statutory authorities towards ensuring the integrity of our elections and specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant.”
Trump has made no secret of his belief that he won Georgia in 2020 — though he did not — and of his desire for his government to adjust election procedures to police what he sees as rampant fraud. In an interview that aired Monday with Dan Bongino, the former deputy director of the FBI, Trump called on Republicans to “nationalize the voting” as he again falsely claimed errors in past election results. Democratic election officials have been bracing for potential federal government intrusion in the midterms.
“The Republicans should say, we want to take over, we should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting,” the president said.
“We have states that are so crooked and they’re counting votes. We have states that I won, that show I didn’t win. Now you’re going to see something in Georgia where they were able to get with a court order, the ballots, you’re going to see some interesting things come out,” he added.
The FBI declined to comment on the call and Gabbard’s role in Fulton County. In response to CNN’s request for comment, Gabbard’s office provided her letter to Congress. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
Former senior FBI officials told CNN they could think of no precedent for the top US intelligence official interacting directly with FBI agents on a politically charged case like this.
“There is unanimous disgust across current and former” FBI officials about Gabbard’s actions in Fulton County, said one former senior FBI official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation.
“There is no precedent, no excuse. It’s performative and undermines the rule of law,” the former official said.
At least one current Trump administration official had previously sought to downplay Trump’s involvement and claimed he did not know why Gabbard was at the search. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN’s Dana Bash this weekend that to his knowledge, Trump did not play a role in the Fulton County search.
“I don’t believe he was involved,” Blanche said. “This is a criminal grand jury investigation, and I can’t comment on it beyond what you just said.”
Asked later about comments from Trump suggesting he had knowledge of the case, Blanche responded: “I’m not around when the president’s briefed or not briefed. What I said is that this is a criminal investigation, so it’s a tightly held, as it must be under the law. It’s a grand jury investigation.”
But on Fox News on Monday night, Blanche signaled he had no problem with Trump talking to the FBI agents who were involved.
“The president talks to law enforcement all week long. The fact that he talked with agents working hard doesn’t surprise me and actually I love it. It’s great,” Blanche said.
Gabbard had been spotted on the scene Wednesday after FBI agents executed a search warrant for the Fulton County elections office, near Atlanta, taking 700 boxes of election materials. The search was related to an effort by the Justice Department to seize voting data and search for alleged fraud in the county, a source familiar with the matter told CNN at the time. An official in Fulton County has since announced the county will challenge the legality of the FBI’s search and seizure of 2020 election records.
Blanche told CNN he did not know why Gabbard was present.
“I don’t know why the director was there,” Blanche said Sunday. “She is not part of the grand jury investigation, but she is for sure a key part of our efforts at election integrity and making sure that we have free and fair elections. She’s an expert in that space, and it’s a big part of what she and her team look at every day.”
Gabbard has carved out a lane for herself pursuing Trump’s election integrity priorities in recent months, boosting her standing within the administration and with the president after a rocky start.
It is well known within the administration that Gabbard and John Ratcliffe, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, have had a fraught relationship
“That’s been smoothed over, and they work together fine now, but it’s also why Tulsi has focused her efforts on (election integrity),” a senior White House official told CNN. The official added that it helps give each of the top officials a different lane of focus.
After her Fulton County trip, Gabbard was slated to address a conference of election officials Friday in Washington, DC. Election officials from both parties had hoped someone from the Trump administration would explain what the administration was doing in Fulton County. But Gabbard ultimately did not attend due to what a conference spokesperson said were “scheduling conflicts.”
