A Trump insider is predicting that outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will make a dramatic exit by releasing a trove of evidence she claims proves foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election.
Right-wing journalist John Solomon, whom Steve Bannon said has been working closely with Gabbard on declassifications, made the prediction Thursday on Bannon's War Room podcast.
"Tulsi is gonna go out in a blaze of glory in her final month because she will be able to release in succession some extraordinary evidence of foreign interference in our election in 2020 and since," Solomon said.
Solomon claimed the intelligence community had long concealed evidence of "active measures" by China, Iran, and other adversaries — and that Gabbard would "systematically destroy" the official narrative that 2020 was the most secure election in American history. He also alleged that China had penetrated voter databases in multiple states, and floated the unverified claim that Ukraine laundered a federal grant back to Joe Biden's 2024 campaign.
Gabbard announced her resignation earlier this month, citing her husband's diagnosis with a rare form of bone cancer. Her tenure was marked by deeply controversial involvement in Trump's efforts to relitigate the 2020 election.
In January, Gabbard was photographed on the scene as FBI agents executed a search warrant at a Fulton County, Georgia, election facility, seizing nearly 700 boxes of original ballots. She later told Congress she was there at Trump's direction. Her office also separately seized voting machines from Puerto Rico, claiming to have found "extremely concerning" vulnerabilities — but provided no detailed evidence.
Senate Democrats accused her of "amplification of baseless election conspiracy theories."
