国家情报局局长图尔西·加巴德周六否认存在任何不当行为，此前民主党人质疑为何去年5月针对她提出的举报投诉在近一年后才被转交国会。
“[弗吉尼亚州民主党]参议员马克·华纳和他在宣传媒体的朋友们多次向美国人民撒谎，称我或国家情报局’将一份举报投诉藏匿在保险柜中长达8个月’，”加巴德周六在一篇长文X帖子中写道，”这是公然的谎言。”
她继续说道：”我现在没有，过去也从未持有或控制过举报人的投诉，因此我显然不可能’将其藏匿在保险柜中’。拜登政府时期的情报社区监察长塔玛拉·约翰逊持有并负责保管该投诉数月之久。”
据《华尔街日报》报道，一名美国情报官员提出的高度机密投诉指控加巴德存在不当行为，该投诉八个月前已提交给情报界监督机构，最初由《华尔街日报》报道。
该报称，自提交以来，该投诉一直被锁在保险柜中，一名美国官员告诉该报，披露其内容可能会”对国家安全造成严重损害”。
举报人律师指责加巴德办公室拖延处理投诉，而她的办公室对此予以否认，称这是”毫无根据且带有政治动机的指控”。
与此同时，民主党人也在质疑为何她的办公室花了这么长时间才将投诉移交给国会。
“法律很明确，”参议院情报委员会高级民主党人华纳周四表示（据美国国家公共广播电台报道），并补充称，该投诉在提交后21天内就应提交给国会。”我认为这是试图隐瞒这份举报投诉的努力。”
投诉内容以及对加巴德的指控均未披露。
加巴德周六写道，她第一次看到这份投诉是”在我必须审查它以提供如何安全地与国会分享的指导意见时”。
“作为参议院情报委员会副主席，华纳参议员非常清楚，含有高度机密和分部门情报的举报投诉——即使像这样含有毫无根据的指控——必须存放在保险柜中，这是拜登政府时期的监察长塔玛拉·约翰逊所做的，她的继任者监察长克里斯·福克斯继续这样做，”她继续说道，”在情报社区监察长福克斯亲自将投诉递交给’八人小组’后，该投诉被送回保险柜，目前仍在那里，这与任何此类敏感信息的处理方式一致。”
她声称，华纳要么”明知这些事实却故意向美国人民撒谎，要么他根本不知道这些事情的运作方式，因此没有资格担任美国参议员”。
加巴德进一步写道：”当投诉未被认定为可信时，法律上没有提供安全指导的时间限制。华纳参议员声称我未遵守的’21天’要求，仅适用于监察长确定投诉既紧急又显然可信的情况。但这里的情况并非如此。”
据《华尔街日报》报道，一名监察长代表表示，他们已确定针对加巴德的投诉中的部分指控不可信，但尚未对其他指控做出决定。
加巴德表示，12月4日，她意识到需要就投诉提供安全指导，并”由情报社区监察长克里斯·福克斯在其致国会的信中详细说明”。
她说，此后她”立即采取行动向情报社区监察长提供安全指导，后者随后分享了投诉并将相关情报提交给了上周相关的国会议员”。
在帖子结尾，加巴德再次指责华纳”数月来为政治利益散布谎言和毫无根据的指控”，称这”损害了我们的国家安全，对美国人民和情报界都是一种伤害”。
华纳办公室告诉福克斯新闻数字版，加巴德的帖子是”不准确的攻击，完全符合一个已经并一再被证明不合格担任国家情报局局长的人的一贯做法”。
众议院和参议院情报委员会的共和党人支持加巴德，阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿周四在X上写道：”我已经审查了这份’举报人’投诉以及监察长的处理情况。我同意两名对此事进行评估的监察长的观点：该投诉不可信，监察长和国家情报局采取了必要步骤，确保材料按照法律进行了适当处理和传递。”
他补充道：”坦率地说，这似乎只是总统的支持者和反对者在政府内外试图破坏他们不喜欢的政策的又一次努力；这绝对不是关于浪费、欺诈或滥用职权的可信指控。”
加巴德的办公室未立即回应福克斯新闻数字版的置评请求。

Tulsi Gabbard denies wrongdoing over delayed whistleblower complaint referral to Congress members: ‘Baseless’
By Brie Stimson | Fox News
Published February 7, 2026 7:57pm EST
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard denied any wrongdoing on Saturday as Democrats question why a whistleblower complaint filed against her last May took nearly a year before it was referred to Congress.
“[Virginia Democrat] Senator Mark Warner and his friends in the Propaganda Media have repeatedly lied to the American people that I or the ODNI ‘hid’ a whistleblower complaint in a safe for eight months,” Gabbard wrote in a lengthy X post on Saturday. “This is a blatant lie.”
She continued, “I am not now, nor have I ever been, in possession or control of the Whistleblower’s complaint, so I obviously could not have ‘hidden’ it in a safe. Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson was in possession of and responsible for securing the complaint for months.”
The highly classified complaint by a U.S. intelligence official alleging wrongdoing on the part of Gabbard was filed eight months ago with the intelligence community’s watchdog office and was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal.
The complaint has been locked in a safe since its filing, according to the Journal, with one U.S. official telling the newspaper that the disclosure of its contents could cause “grave damage to national security.”
The whistleblower’s lawyer has accused Gabbard’s office of slow-walking the complaint, which her office has denied, calling it “baseless and politically motivated.”
Meanwhile, Democrats are also questioning why it took her office so long to hand the complaint over to Congress.
“The law is clear,” Warner, the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Thursday, according to NPR, adding that the complaint was required to be sent to Congress within 21 days of its filing. “I think it was an effort to try to bury this whistleblower complaint.”
Neither the contents of the complaint nor the allegations against Gabbard have been revealed.
Gabbard wrote on Saturday that the first time she saw the complaint was “when I had to review it to provide guidance on how it should be securely shared with Congress.”
“As Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Warner knows very well that whistleblower complaints that contain highly classified and compartmented intelligence—even if they contain baseless allegations like this one—must be secured in a safe, which the Biden-era Inspector General Tamara Johnson did and her successor, Inspector General Chris Fox, continued to do,” she continued. “After IC Inspector General Fox hand-delivered the complaint to the Gang of 8, the complaint was returned to a safe where it remains, consistent with any information of such sensitivity.”
She claimed that either “Warner knows these facts and is intentionally lying to the American people, or he doesn’t have a clue how these things work and is therefore not qualified to be in the U.S. Senate.”
Gabbard further wrote that “When a complaint is not found to be credible, there is no timeline under the law for the provision of security guidance. The ‘21 day’ requirement that Senator Warner alleges I did not comply with, only applies when a complaint is determined by the Inspector General to be both urgent AND apparently credible. That was NOT the case here.”
An inspector general representative said that it had determined some of the allegations in the complaint against Gabbard weren’t credible, while it hasn’t made a determination on others, according to the Journal.
Gabbard said she was made aware that she needed to provide security guidance on the complaint by IC Inspector General Chris Fox on Dec. 4, “which he detailed in his letter to Congress.”
Afterward, she said she “took immediate action to provide the security guidance to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, who then shared the complaint and referenced intelligence with relevant members of Congress last week.”
In closing her post, Gabbard once again accused Warner of spreading “lies and baseless accusations over the months for political gain,” which she said “undermines our national security and is a disservice to the American people and the Intelligence Community.”
Warner’s office told Fox News Digital Gabbard’s post was an “inaccurate attack that’s entirely on brand for someone who has already and repeatedly proven she’s unqualified to serve as DNI.”
Republicans on the House and Senate intelligence committees have backed up Gabbard, with Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., writing on X on Thursday: “I have reviewed this ‘whistleblower’ complaint and the inspector general handling of it. I agree with both inspectors general who have evaluated the matter: the complaint is not credible and the inspectors general and the DNI took the necessary steps to ensure the material has handled and transmitted appropriately in accordance with law.”
He addded, “To be frank, it seems like just another effort by the president’s critics in and out of government to undermine policies that they don’t like; it’s definitely not credible allegations of waste, fraud, or abuse.”
Gabbard’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
