US Intelligence Chief Gabbard Reveals Undercover CIA Agent, Faces Backlash

President Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has come under severe criticism for posting a list on social media that stripped security clearances from 37 current and former intelligence officers, including the name of an undercover CIA agent working on Russia. Reports indicate Gabbard did not consult the CIA before releasing the list, which exposed sensitive information and could jeopardize intelligence operations and foreign relations. The undercover officer identified is a veteran with over 20 years of experience specializing in Russia and Eurasia. Gabbard's actions were taken under Trump's direction and have been widely condemned by intelligence professionals and media commentators, who argue that such disclosures are a serious breach of protocol and security. Critics have called for Gabbard's dismissal, emphasizing that a failure to coordinate with the CIA before releasing such information is a sackable offense. Gabbard's spokesperson defended the move, stating it was necessary to revoke clearances of individuals who had misused classified intelligence.
