A highly classified whistleblower complaint involving Tulsi Gabbard centers on a foreign-intelligence conversation last year discussing Jared Kushner, though officials say the claims about him appear false.
The complaint alleges Gabbard delayed sharing the intelligence with Congress for political purposes after meeting with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
A heavily redacted version of the complaint was provided to select lawmakers, who could only review it in a secure “read-and-return” session, leaving its credibility disputed along party lines.
Democrats have pressed for access to the full complaint and the underlying NSA intercepts, while Republicans defend Gabbard and say the allegations are baseless, the Wall Street Journal has reported.
Officials note that the conversation could involve unverified information or deliberate disinformation by foreign actors, and the intelligence community inspector general has not deemed the complaint fully credible.
