Intelligence community insiders have expressed alarm over Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s alleged connections to the Kremlin during a House Intelligence Committee hearing. Former CIA officers, including ex-CIA Director John Brennan, accused Gabbard of being a “Russian asset” and warned that her association with Russian officials posed a threat to national security. The allegations have sparked controversy, with Gabbard adamantly denying any wrongdoing and accusing the intelligence community of McCarthyism. The hearing highlighted growing concerns within the intelligence community about foreign interference in American politics, particularly from Russia.
