Breaking: Major update on whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard - Brian Tyler Cohen and Mark Warner



Here are the key points from the interview with Senator Mark Warner:

• Whistleblower complaint suppressed: A whistleblower complaint about DNI Tulsi Gabbard was filed in June but wasn't reported to Congress until November (should have been 21 days). The bipartisan Gang of Eight only received it after months of pressure.

• Gabbard's involvement in ballot investigation: Tulsi Gabbard was present during an FBI search warrant execution in Fulton County regarding 2020 ballots, despite having no jurisdiction over domestic criminal investigations as DNI.

• Election interference concerns: Warner expressed alarm about potential 2026/2028 election interference, citing Trump's calls to nationalize elections, Gabbard's actions, and the possibility of using ICE patrols near polling stations.

• Dismantled election security infrastructure: Key election security agencies established after 2016 Russian interference have been shut down or severely cut, including the FBI's election interference center and DNI's foreign influence center.

• DHS funding standoff: Democrats are demanding reforms (including body cameras for ICE agents) before approving additional DHS funding, with Warner committing not to vote for funding without reforms.

• Public hearing scheduled: Gabbard will testify publicly before the Senate Intelligence Committee in early March.
