Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has launched an aggressive crackdown on politically motivated intelligence leaks, making it clear that those who undermine national security by feeding classified information to the media will be held accountable.
Gabbard Targets Deep State Operatives Undermining National Security
In recent weeks, highly sensitive intelligence has been leaked to legacy media outlets, raising concerns that certain elements within the intelligence community are deliberately working against the administration. Gabbard has identified multiple incidents where classified information was improperly disclosed to reporters, including:
- Details on Israel-Iran relations leaked to a major publication.
- Sensitive U.S.-Russia intelligence given to mainstream news outlets.
- Unauthorized disclosures regarding national counterintelligence operations.
These deliberate leaks serve no legitimate purpose other than to advance a political agenda, and Gabbard has vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
“Enough is Enough” – Gabbard Issues Stern Warning
Gabbard made it clear that the era of Deep State operatives sabotaging U.S. policy through illegal leaks is over.
“Any unauthorized release of classified material is not only a violation of the law but a direct threat to national security. This will not be tolerated.”
Under previous administrations, intelligence leaks were often ignored—or even encouraged—when they served the interests of establishment figures. But with Gabbard at the helm, the intelligence community is now being held to account, ensuring that classified information is used to protect the American people, not as a political weapon.

Senator Tom Cotton Backs Gabbard’s Efforts
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has publicly expressed support for Gabbard’s efforts, thanking her for bringing an end to the intelligence community’s weaponization against political opponents.
“We’ve seen these leaks used to manipulate public perception, undermine U.S. leadership, and serve the interests of entrenched bureaucrats. It’s about time someone in intelligence leadership took this issue seriously.”
Restoring Integrity to U.S. Intelligence
Gabbard’s no-nonsense approach sends a strong message to those within the intelligence community who believe they can bypass legal channels to push an agenda. Under her leadership, the intelligence apparatus will be focused on its true mission—protecting America—not playing partisan games.
With Gabbard leading the charge, the era of anonymous leaks, media manipulation, and deep-state sabotage is coming to an end. The American people deserve a government that works for them, not against them.
