Hundreds of Confidential Memos Reveal Political Guidance for Tulsi Gabbard
1 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 21
Summary
Hundreds of confidential memos obtained by a reporter detail political and policy guidance given to Tulsi Gabbard during her years in Congress.
The report centers on tracing who wrote the messages, presenting them as evidence that outside advice helped shape key parts of Gabbard’s political career.
Rebecca Saltzburg, who worked on digital strategy for several Gabbard congressional campaigns, said in a 2024 interview that Gabbard was a freethinker and that her core political path was her own.
The contrast between those public characterizations and the newly obtained memos drives fresh scrutiny of Gabbard’s decision-making and the influence of people around her, including her guru.
