Summary

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council Acting Chair Mike Collins and Deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof after they contradicted Trump’s claims about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

A declassified NIC report found no Maduro-directed effort behind TDA’s U.S. activity, opposing Trump’s justification for suspending Venezuelan migrants’ due-process rights.

Whistleblowers accused the officials of undermining Trump. Gabbard is relocating the NIC from the CIA to her office.

Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.

    Well it’s already proven the biased source yelling at you 24/7 is the better propaganda machine.

      Proven? Is it? Care to provide some sources or argument beyond just an assertion? An administration does not an empire make.

      It’s intriguing that posts with references get downvoted but posts without get upvoted. Great critical thinking Lemmy users 👍
