DNI Tulsi Gabbard sends criminal referral over Trump’s 2019 impeachment to Justice Department
Gabbard says the complaint relied on secondhand accounts and released declassified records, while the Justice Department will decide whether to pursue charges.
- On Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard referred former CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella and former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson to the Justice Department for potential investigation over their roles in the 2019 complaint triggering President Donald Trump's first impeachment.
- Declassified files allege Atkinson modified whistleblower forms to accommodate hearsay, ignoring Justice Department guidance that the complaint did not qualify as an 'urgent concern.' He allegedly accepted the filing despite knowing it relied on secondhand accounts of the July 2019 phone call between Trump and Zelensky.
- Transcripts released by the House Intelligence Committee reveal Ciaramella had a 'prior professional relationship with one of the Democratic Presidential candidates.' Records show he had pre-complaint contact with staff for then-Chairman Adam Schiff, contradicting Schiff's public claims that his committee had not spoken directly with the whistleblower.
- These referrals revive contentious impeachment-era debates as the administration investigates alleged intelligence community abuses. Trump reacted to the released documents by stating, 'They cheated in every way possible,' asserting the election was rigged.
