President Donald Trump’s administration seems very confused as to why Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was in Georgia for the FBI’s raid on the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center late last month. The story has now changed four times, and twice in the past 24 hours. The first to comment on Gabbard was Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who claimed that Gabbard just happened to be in Atlanta when the raid happened. Gabbard then said that Trump asked her personally to go to Atlanta for the raid. In a letter she sent to Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), Gabbard wrote, “My presence was requested by the President and executed under my broad statutory authority to coordinate, integrate and analyze intelligence related to election security, including counter-intelligence, foreign and other malign influence and cybersecurity.”By Wednesday, Trump appeared to forget about it. In a conversation with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas, Trump spoke about his conspiracy theory that he lost the 2020 election. Llamas asked Trump point-blank, “Why is Tulsi Gabbard there?”“I don’t know,” Trump answered. “But a lot of the cheating comes from, it’s international cheating.”Less than 24 hours later, Trump’s story changed again. While he was speaking to the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump gushed over Gabbard for attending the raid. “She took a lot of heat two days ago because she went in at Pam’s insistence,” the president said, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi. “They say, ‘why is she doing it’… because Pam wanted her to do it. And you know why? Because she’s smart,” Trump added, relayed The Guardian. Georgia lawmakers are concerned about Trump’s spreading of conspiracy theories and the purpose of the Fulton County raid. Georgia’s Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to Bondi on Thursday morning, asking for specifics. “We are deeply concerned that President Trump’s consistent spreading of misinformation and dangerous conspiracy theories about the 2020 election fundamentally undermines the electoral process, endangers election workers, and erodes public trust in our democracy,” the lawmakers wrote. “This unprecedented seizure only heightens those concerns.”If “the Trump administration is investigating a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus,” it would legally require “an immediate congressional briefing,” said Sen. Raphael Warnock and Reps. Lucy McBath and Nikema Williams all Democrats from Georgia.The search warrant that demanded “copies” of the necessary documents didn’t come from a local judge. According to the lawmakers, “unusually, the warrant was filed by the U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Missouri and follows the reported firing of the Atlanta FBI special agent in charge Paul Brown after expressing concern about this search.”The Associated Press reported that Brown was ousted the week before the raid. He was overseeing the Atlanta office. MS NOW confirmed in the days that followed that the Brown was pushed out because he refused to cooperate. The group requested a briefing from the Department of Justice “concerning this activity and its related investigation by February 13, 2026.”The statute of limitations on the case has long expired. So, the only way the administration would be able to do anything about it is if there was some kind of ongoing conspiracy, said Georgia lawyer Michael J. Moore when speaking to CNN.
