Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence has told Democratic lawmakers she can’t share a top-secret whistleblower report concerning his son-in-law because the intel is privileged.
Tulsi Gabbard’s office told congressional staffers it would be unable to share an unredacted copy of the complaint “due to the assertion of executive privilege to portions” of the underlying intelligence, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The newspaper reports that Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Himes—two among the legislature’s Gang of Eight leaders, who are briefed on intelligence matters—wrote to Gabbard Tuesday asking who had asserted that privilege, and why.
