Gabbard Aide Pushed to Rewrite Intelligence so It Could Not Be ‘Used Against’ Trump - Hawaii Tribune-Herald
- Joe Kent, chief of staff to Tulsi Gabbard, directed intelligence analysts in April 2025 to revise a February 26 assessment about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
- Kent pushed for changes to align the assessment with claims that Venezuela's government controls the gang, aiming to shield Gabbard and President Trump from criticism.
