Leaked Memo Blows Lid Off Secret Complaint That Gabbard Kept Hidden in a Locked Safe

The director of national intelligence’s alleged efforts to quash embarrassing allegations appear to be unraveling.

A whistleblower complaint against Donald Trump’s spy chief was flagged for being of “urgent concern” and was on its way to lawmakers before hitting a series of inexplicable snags that saw it hidden away in a safe.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was accused of playing games behind the scenes to keep the complaint under wraps, but a memo on the highly classified complaint obtained by The Associated Press now reveals the nature of the allegations against her.

Filed on May 21, 2025, by an intelligence official, the complaint alleged that Gabbard “restricted” distribution of a “highly classified intelligence report” for “political purposes,” according to the memo. It also alleged that officials with the DNI’s Office of General Counsel “failed to report a potential crime to the Department of Justice, also for political purposes.”

Lawmakers only learned of the document’s existence in November, when the whistleblower’s attorneys shared a letter with Congress accusing Gabbard of stonewalling disclosure of the complaint, which is currently locked in a safe at the office of the intelligence community’s inspector general, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The memo on the complaint has now been shared with members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, and copies of the complaint itself are due to be hand-delivered to the lawmakers this week, the AP reported.

1. But we don't know yet what's in it? This could be exciting!

Some hard proof that she is a Russian asset, and acting as Putin's liaison to Duhnold?

A person can dream!

3. She's a real-life Cruella DeVille

Hopefully, she'll end up insane like her movie doppelganger

4. Could this possibly involve Hegseth?

When he sent the classified link to people without clearance?

Wouldn't that be DNI who would produce a report on the possibility of compromised information? Everybody has said that a criminal investigation would have immediately been opened under any other administration(probably even Trump's first).
