Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made a surprise appearance at the White House press briefing on Wednesday to outline to reporters details of key findings from a House Intelligence Committee report published in 2020 that was newly made public.

Gabbard said her office has referred documents it has released to the Justice Department, suggesting it could implicate former President Obama.

The revelations come as President Trump and the White House continue to fend off controversy surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and the administration’s handling of releasing files on his case.

      Some have fallen for the distraction. I had one tepidly say they want the Epstein documents released “bUt WhAt Do YoU hAvE tO sAy AbOuT tHe TrEaSoN?!” That’s the most he’ll say about Epstein. He’s in no way worried he’ll find trump’s name. His daddy surely wouldn’t be a pedophile.

        This is going to be a wildly unpopular opinion, but I think we have this backwards: they want you to focus on Epstein while they dismantle American democracy. They dont care if Trump gets arrested. There are plenty more fascists to take his place. What really matters to them is the Christian fascists state they want to create.

      I care, for those unaware Trump is trying to throw Obama in prison for Treason, over Obama admin officials in 2016 reporting ties between Trump campaign and Russia, and Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard are going along with it despite Marco Rubio previously giving a report to Congress which completely contradicts all of his claims.
