Tulsi Gabbard revokes security clearances of 37 US intelligence officials

Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, has revoked the security clearances of 37 US intelligence officials who served under the Biden and Obama administrations. The director of national intelligence has accused these officials of politicizing intelligence for partisan or personal gain. The decision to revoke the clearances is seen as a controversial move, as it raises concerns about the independence and objectivity of the intelligence community. Some have criticized the action as a potential abuse of power and a threat to the integrity of the intelligence-gathering process. The officials affected by the decision include former officials from agencies such as the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA. The director of national intelligence has not provided specific details about the alleged politicization of intelligence, and the move has been met with criticism from some members of Congress and the intelligence community.
