Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche raised more questions than answers during an interview with Fox News on Monday night. On Wednesday, FBI agents executed a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Georgia, which President Donald Trump lost in 2020. Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, was photographed on the scene inside a vehicle containing boxes of documents taken from the site. Notably, Gabbard has no oversight of the FBI and no statutory investigative authority. Nevertheless, Trump, who falsely claims the 2020 election was rigged against him, said last week that Gabbard is on the case.

Appearing on The Ingraham Angle, Blanche was asked about Gabbard’s role. “What can you tell us about that?” Laura Ingraham asked.

And because of that, there’s not a lot we can talk about. I read the same article you read about a conversation. The president talks to law enforcement all week long. And so, the fact that he talked with agents working hard doesn’t surprise me. And actually, I love it. It’s great.”

Ingraham tried again. “Everyone knows I love Tulsi Gabbard, but why was she at that particular raid?” she asked. “Well, first of all, she wasn’t at the search. She was in the area where the search took place,” Blanche said before claiming Gabbard is not part of the probe despite Trump’s comments. “She’s not part of this investigation.
