Gabbard Recalls Classified Venezuela Report | JQJO

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ordered the recall of a classified NSA report on Venezuela and President Trump's envoy Richard Grenell, despite the agency confirming its accuracy. The report detailed Grenell's conversations with Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. While a senior intelligence official cited concerns about protecting civil liberties, the NSA was given no explanation. The move is deemed highly unusual, as it bypassed typical agency protocols. The incident follows Gabbard's firing of top National Intelligence Council officials after their report contradicted the Trump administration's stance on Venezuela.
