Trump’s Spy Chief Shutters Revenge Task Force After Backlash

Tulsi Gabbard, the embattled director of national intelligence, has shuttered the task force she created to pursue Donald Trump’s political vendettas.

Gabbard, 44, confirmed to Reuters on Tuesday that she has wound down the Director’s Initiatives Group, a task force she launched under the banner of depoliticizing intelligence agencies.

The group, which issued reports attacking the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Biden administration’s handling of domestic terrorism, had been accused of serving as a vehicle for Trump’s political retribution campaign.
