The general counsel for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is warning the attorney for an anonymous government employee not to share a top-secret complaint about Gabbard directly with members of Congress. In a letter Monday, Gabbard's legal office warned that the complaint contains many classified details and that sharing it improperly with lawmakers or their staffers could violate the law. An anonymous employee has alleged that Gabbard withheld classified material for political purposes, an accusation two inspectors general found didn't appear to be credible. Democrats question why it took eight months to refer the report to select members of Congress as required. Gabbard has denied wrongdoing and said she did all she could to ensure the report reached Congress.
