Gabbard Declassifies Report: Intelligence Officials Alarmed | JQJO

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard declassified a 2016 election report on Russian interference, despite CIA objections citing risks to sources and methods.

The declassified report, including references to eavesdropping and a human source, sparked controversy.
