US EditionGabbard Aide Pushed to Rewrite Intelligence so It Could Not Be ‘Used Against’ Trump - Hawaii Tribune-Herald
- Joe Kent, chief of staff to DNI Tulsi Gabbard, ordered intelligence analysts on April 3, 2025, to rewrite an assessment on Venezuela's gang Tren de Aragua to protect Gabbard and President Trump from criticism.
- The request followed a February 26 memo by the National Intelligence Council that contradicted Trump's claim about Venezuelan control of the gang and was connected to his use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportations.
- Kent pressured Michael Collins and other officials to produce a new assessment by week’s end that aligned with the administration’s narrative and could be declassified for White House review.
- The April 7 memo publicly released on May 5 reaffirmed intelligence that Venezuela likely did not control Tren de Aragua, while Kent’s emails described migrant flows as hostile acts by Venezuela though the government may not directly task the gang.
- The declassification triggered legal and political issues for the Trump administration, led to the firing of Collins and his deputy by Gabbard, and exposed internal concerns over politicizing intelligence.
