Tulsi Gabbard Fires Over 100 Intelligence Officers for Inappropriate Chats

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, announced the termination of over 100 intelligence officers from various agencies for participating in sexually explicit conversations on the NSA's Intelink messaging platform. This decision follows the revelation of inappropriate chats that included discussions on sexual themes and gender transition, first disclosed by conservative activist Christopher Rufo. Gabbard characterized the behavior as an egregious violation of trust and professional standards, stating that all involved will also have their security clearances revoked. The NSA is currently conducting further investigations into the misuse of its communication systems. Gabbard emphasized the necessity of addressing such behavior to restore integrity within the intelligence community. The fallout from this scandal reflects growing scrutiny over professional conduct in federal agencies.
