The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. Senior Trump administration officials said the claims about Kushner were demonstrably false, but declined to offer more specifics about the conversation. @dnvolz @jdawsey1 @cryanbarber wsj.com/politics/national-se…

Trump’s first administration says Venezuela’s state-owned oil company embezzled billions of dollars and used company aircraft to traffic in cocaine. Now it wants U.S. companies to go into business with the company. @WSJ tells story of the troubled giant. wsj.com/business/energy-oil/…

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. 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.

“He often speaks in sentences that can seem to stretch for minutes, asking rhetorical questions designed to persuade colleagues to see matters his way. Miller rarely leaves a written trail of his orders, using Signal, an encrypted voice and text-messaging app, to communicate.” Read @jdawsey1 @tparti on Stephen Miller: wsj.com/politics/policy/ice-…

During a press conference, Sen. @MarkWarner said he has not received the classified whistleblower complaint concerning—in part—Tulsi Gabbard but expects to get it "imminently." "Literally today or tomorrow," Warner adds.

Warner: "It took the Gang of 8 six months of negotiation with (Gabbard) to share that WB complaint. This is in direct contradiction to what Gabbard testified during her confirmation hearings, that she would protect whistleblowers and share the information in a timely manner."

👀 Dozens of secretaries of state gathered Friday expecting to hear from Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi & Tulsi Gabbard. State election officials had Qs. But the cabinet members were a no show. Harmeet Dhillon & Heather Honey cancelled on them too. politico.com/newsletters/wes…

WSJ: Amid the limbo, the Gabbard complaint has been locked in a safe in the office, a person familiar with the matter said. Asked about the safe, the inspector-general representative said: “Some complaints involve exceptionally sensitive materials necessitating special handling and storage requirements. This case is one of them.”
