Tulsi Gabbard denies claims of blocking a whistleblower complaint involving classified NSA intelligence, with inspectors general finding the complaint not credible, despite a months-long delay.
- On April 17, a whistleblower contacted the inspector general and filed a May 21 complaint alleging Tulsi Gabbard blocked highly classified National Security Agency intelligence about an unusual call involving a person close to Donald Trump and a foreign-intelligence-linked individual.

- Congressional leaders have pressed the NSA and Gabbard's office for the report, while two Republican lawmakers dismissed the complaint and Democrats raised alarms, The Wall Street Journal reported it could cause `grave damage to national security'.
- Attorneys and former intelligence professionals flagged procedural anomalies, and critics say inspectors-general norms and the DNI guidance process delayed congressional review despite 14-day determinations.
