Gabbard Rescinds Biden-Era Intel Assessments that Were Skeptical About ‘Havana Syndrome’
Gabbard said the earlier reviews excluded evidence and relied on a flawed medical study, and former officials welcomed the move.
- On Thursday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revoked two Biden-era intelligence assessments that had concluded foreign involvement in Havana Syndrome was very unlikely.
- In her official memo, Gabbard stated the earlier reports selectively excluded relevant intelligence and relied on a flawed medical study to maintain a predetermined conclusion regarding anomalous health incidents, or AHI.
- Rep. Rick Crawford, Republican of Arkansas and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, hailed the decision as "huge news" for analytic integrity, saying the recalled assessment had "deliberately manufactured" conclusions.
- President Donald Trump nominated Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to replace Gabbard on Thursday, as she is expected to step down next week.
- It remains unclear whether the rescission will spawn new investigations into AHI, though the government previously spent more than $10 million to purchase a device producing pulsed radio waves that some officials believed could be related to the incidents.
