Republican leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees have dismissed a secret complaint from a government insider accusing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard of withholding classified information for political reasons.
This rejection raises doubts about the complaint's progression, as both Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Rick Crawford downplayed its credibility. These responses cast the accusation as potentially politically driven, echoing past efforts to challenge Gabbard and the Trump administration's policies.
