Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department targeting the whistleblower and former inspector general involved in Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment.

Democrats have criticized the move as politically motivated, warning it could deter future whistleblowers and further polarize oversight of intelligence activities.
