Tulsi Gabbard demanding access to intel agency emails to find spies working to undermine the Trump agenda: report [View all]

Source: Independent

A team created by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has allegedly sought mass amounts of internal emails and chat logs from top U.S. spy agencies, in an effort to use A.I. tools to screen for government employees opposing the Trump administration agenda.

The team, known as the Director’s Initiative Group, has reportedly sought information from the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and other agencies involved in sensitive intelligence work, unnamed insiders told The Washington Post.

Sources told the paper the alleged effort, which so far has been unsuccessful, would represent a “treasure trove of a target for any foreign intelligence service to go after” if ever completed, and was conducted with an underlying emphasis on rooting out ostensible “Deep State” career officials working to undermine the president.

Gabbard’s team has reportedly framed its data access efforts as an attempt to pursue increased efficiency and transparency, similar to the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency initiative that took place across a variety of U.S. agencies.
