Republicans have dismissed a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. The complaint claimed that Gabbard withheld classified information to serve political interests.

The Republican chairs of the House and Senate intelligence committees rejected the filing, calling it "not credible" and politically motivated. Meanwhile, Democrats are questioning the delay in the process. They want to know why Gabbard's office took eight months to report the complaint to Congress, a step that is required by law.
