After Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was photographed in Fulton County during the execution of a search warrant for 2020 election evidence, several members of Congress began to call into question DNI Gabbard’s authority to be involved.

Senator Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, “sharply criticized” the presence of the DNI in Fulton County.  According to NBC News:

Warner said there were only two explanations for national intelligence director’s trip: either Gabbard believed the case had a link to foreign intelligence, and she failed to abide by her legal obligation to inform congressional committees about it, or she was tarnishing the nonpartisan reputation of the intelligence agencies with a “domestic political stunt designed to legitimize conspiracy theories that undermine our democracy.”

“Either scenario,” Warner added, “represents a serious breach of trust and a dereliction of duty to the solemn office which she holds.”

According to The Democracy Docket, David Becker, the founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), told reporters last week:

“The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has no domestic responsibilities.  There is no reason for the director of national intelligence to be in any kind of voting site. She has neither the authority nor the competence to assess anything in that voting site. And so it’s incredibly troubling to see something like that.”

CEIR received over $65 million in “Zuckerbucks” during the 2020 election.  Becker is also the co-founder of the Electronic Registration and Information Center, a non-profit that has been tasked with maintaining voter rolls for more than a dozen states.

Developing: Deep State Targets DNI Tulsi Gabbard After Her Involvement in 2020 Fulton County Election Fraud Investigation

DNI Gabbard posted on Monday evening that, "Contrary to the blatantly false and slanderous accusations being made against me by Members of Congress and their friends in the propaganda media, the Office of Director of National Intelligence has and will continue to take action under my statutory authorities to secure our nation and ensure the integrity of our elections," followed by screen shots of a letter to Congress.

— DNI Tulsi Gabbard (@DNIGabbard) February 3, 2026

"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 counterintelligence (CI), foreign and other malign influence and cybersecurity.  The FBI's intelligence/Counterintelligence divisions are one of the 18 elements that I oversee," Gabbard wrote.

"In twelve FBI Field Offices across the country, including the Atlanta Field Office, the senior FBI official (Assistant Director in Charge or Special Agent in Charge) is dual-hatted as my Domestic DNI-Representative.  The Domestic DNI-Rep program was established in 2011 through a Memorandum of Understanding between the ODNI and the FBI."

DNI Gabbard said that the ODNI's Office of General Counsel found her actions "to be consistent and well within my statutory authorities as the Director of National Intelligence."

The letter than provides answers to questions raised assumedly by Congress:

Election Security is a National Security Issue

In response, DNI Gabbard states that, "The President and his Administration are committed to safeguarding the integrity of U.S. elections to ensure that neither foreign nor domestic powers undermine the American people's right to determine who our elected leaders are."

"As I publicly highlighted on 10 April 2025, ODNI has been actively reviewing intelligence reporting and assessments on election integrity since I took office," Gabbard writes.  "As part of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center's responsibility to lead, manage, and coordinate counterintelligence matters related to elections security, NCSC personnel travelled with me to Fulton County to support this effort."  She mentions that they were not present for the execution of the warrant.

The Director of National Intelligence has Broad Authority to Coordinate, Integrate, and Analyze Intelligence Related to Election Security.

DNI Gabbard states that, "To preserve the integrity of our elections, we must understand whether there has been foreign or other malign interference in our elections" and whether vulnerabilities exist for possible future exploitation.

Citing Section 102A of the National Security Act of 1947, Gabbard claims she "robust authority to coordinate and integrate national intelligence," including having "access to all national intelligence (consistent with other law), as well as the authority to establish objectives, priorities, and guidance for the IC to ensure timely and effective collection, processing, analysis and dissemination of national intelligence."

Further, "Section 6508 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2020 provides for the designation of a National Counterintelligence Officer within the NCSC to lead, manage, and coordinate CI matters related to election security."

Gabbard also invokes Executive Order 13848, originally signed by President Trump in September 2018 and extended by Joe Biden in September 2022.  This Executive Order "tasked DNI with assessing foreign interference after every federal election."

ODNI Will Not Irresponsibly Share Incomplete Intelligence Assessments Concerning Foreign or Malign Interference in U.S. Elections

"As I publicly stated on 10 April 2025, there is information and intelligence reporting suggesting that electronic voting systems being used in the United States have long been vulnerable to exploitation that could result in enabling determined actors to manipulate the results of the votes being cast with the intent to change the outcome of an election," Gabbard wrote.

She wrote that, "Searching through intelligence holdings and conducting assessments with analytic rigor and excellence is an arduous and often time-consuming process," but ensures that the process makes a work product that is "independent of political considerations and based on all available sources."

Lastly, DNI Gabbard ends by citing Section 501(a)(2) of the National Security Act of 1947, specifically that the President does not need to obtain Congressional approval before initiating a significant intelligence activity and that Gabbard is not aware of the contents of the warrant or evidence of probable cause because the search warrant was issued "under seal."

A series of emails uncovered in the most recent release by the Department of Justice (DOJ) reads like a spy thriller novel: American agents in a foreign country attacking local law enforcement to disrupt an investigation.  Threats made all the way up to the President of Mexico.  A judge shot by an American in order to delay a trial.  A U.S. Ambassador implicated in all of it.  And a U.S. Special Forces icon being detained in an undisclosed location.  Plot twist:  The Special Forces veteran is the bad guy!  

The emails appear to involve Ken Turner, who goes by “KenT” in the emails, and possibly NYPD Detective Walter E. Harkins based on a signature field in one of the emails.  Harkins retired from the NYPD just days after the 2024 election following a 33-year career ending four generations of familial service to the department.

Each redacted email address is followed by “(NY) (OGA)”.

On July 19, 2019, Turner sent an email to the NY OGA and disclosed the individuals he was working with in Mexico.  He described one, Jorge Gonzales, as “my friend in the Mexican Federal Government” with a federal police phone number.  He also mentioned an ex South African police officer and psychologist named Maryna and introduced her as his “partner”.

“We are all under threat from US Agents here so we try to be very careful about how we talk and where,” Turner wrote.

He continued, “When you talk to Jorge, ask him who I was referring to when I said “high powered individual” who has threatened him, me and Maryna and who spoke to the President of Mexico last week and told him he would not back off on the threats toward us three.”

NY OGA responded, “Ok, thanks.  I’ll be in touch.”

Three days later, Turner wrote back to request a phone call.  He said, “Jorge is prepared to talk to you re: Marcinko and Epstein and all the videos and photos he has.”  Marcinko later would be identified as Richard Marcinko, the first commanding officer of the elite SEAL Team Six.  “He will openly disclose what evidence he has and who some of the participants at these sex parties were,” the email concluded.

Four days later, Turner wrote back with concern asking, “Who on your team knows we are talking to you, anyone assigned from NSA, CIA, or US State Department?”

That particular email also claims that an American shot a judge who was presiding over Turner’s child sex trafficking case and that Jorge and Turner both have been attacked by armed individuals four times.  “My partner has shot and killed 2 and wounded 5 American agents to date.”

The shocking email reads:

We’ve had another serious incident since an American shot the trial judge in our child sex trafficking case here.

He and I both think this latest incident is tied to the fact we have reached out to your team.  Who on your team knows we are talking to you, anyone assigned from NSA, CIA, or US State Department?  Please understand peoples lives here are in jeopardy.

We have had 4 armed attacks against us, my partner has shot and killed 2 and wounded 5 American agents to date, numerous white American agents following us in vans assigned to US Embassy.  Jorge was attacked and lost his arm.  The President of Mexico is keenly aware of our case against Marcinko and other US Officials.  This case we have here is most certainly connected to yours, we have the proof.  Our case will help bring a whole new dynamic to what you know and who is involved, Prince Phillip is small fry compared to what we have uncovered.

You may want to question the Ex US Ambassador to Mexico; Mr. Earl Anthony Wayne about his involvement with an underage girl when he attended and was arrested by the Federal Police.  We believe that Marcinko and Epstein were involved organizing this party and it was held in Juarez, Mex in 2014 at a US Consulate controlled housing facility.  Ask him how he knows Richard Marcinko.  He was sentenced in Mexico in 2017 to a life sentence for impregnating an 11 year old girl, her son’s DNA matches Wayne’s 100%, but he is allow an ex-US Marine to stand in his place to serve his sentence in Mexico.  That was an agreement worked out between our US State Dept. and a judge in Mexico after a huge payoff.  Mr. Anthony has an outstanding arrest warrant here in Mexico for avoiding sentencing.  His cell number is <redacted>

I want to confirm that the phone you will be using has been swept for malware and key loggers.  After our call you’ll understand why we are so concerned with secure comms here.

Ken Turner

NY OGA simply responded, “My Task Force is not affiliated with the intelligence community if want arrange a call time.” (grammar/punctuation unchanged)

When Turner asks if 1pm CST tomorrow is good, the response “Ok that’s good” comes in the only email to include a signature field: NYPD Detective Walter E. Harkins, TFO.

The attached email is the most shocking email I’ve seen yet in the Epstein release and I haven’t seen anyone talking about it.

“We’ve had another serious incident since an American shot the trial judge in our child sex trafficking case here.”

On August 5, 2019, Turner explained to NY OGA that he was “rushing home” after his nephew, Logan Turner, was killed in a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio.

Turner also disclosed that another attempt was made on his partner by a “US embassy security team”:

My nephew Logan Turner was shot and killed in the mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio last evening.  I am rushing home to be with my immediate family.

All investigative work on Marcinko and Epstein is still in process and we have uncovered more videos and photos of the two of them together in Mexico.

Another attempt by US embassy security team was made yesterday when they stopped my partner and searched her car looking for the videos and photos we uncovered that they told her could not leave Mexico.  They were not in her car!  Someone doesn’t want this data disclosed.

In the final email of that document, on August 10, 2019, following the alleged suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, Turner writes:

Just heard about Epstein.  Based upon what we have discovered here and who was involved here in Mexico, we don’t believe it was suicide.  When you have 5 minutes you need to listen to what we have as evidence.

On July 30, 2019, an unknown detective with the NYPD Child Exploitation/Human Trafficking Task Force sent an “Inquiry Request” to the FBI asking for “assistance with inquiries and consulting with your Mexican LE (law enforcement) counterparts.”

<redacted> contacted an FBI hotline, set up for the Jeffrey Epstein investigation claiming that he was some type of Mexican deputized investigator, who is investigating a child sex ring in and around the Mexico City area with a Mexican LE official known as <redacted> who has arrested ex US Navy SEAL, Richard A. Marcinko DOB 11/21/1940.  TURNER stated that MARCINKO is in custody in Mexico City on child sex charges.  <redacted> claimed that <redacted> has in his possession, as some type of evidence, DVD’s depicting JEFFREY EPSTEIN engaged in sex acts with minor females, some of whom may be USC’s.

Several files were sent to the NY OGA email address almost one month later on August 26, 2019.  The files included a file titled “RICHARD_A_MARCINKO-Comprehensive-Report-201907292014.pdf” and “KENNETH_DARRELL_TURNER-Comprehensive-Report-201907221704.pdf”.

The last email uncovered so far, and the most recent, was sent from Turner on December 31, 2019.

In this email, Turner claims to have a victim who disclosed several high-powered individuals involved, including the Clintons and the Bidens.

As I tried to tell you a month ago, I have continued interviewing the young victim “Karla” and she has finally opened up after her guardian was attacked and beaten by US agents in Chetamul.

She has disclosed where she met Epstein, whose homes they visited in NY, MD, N Mex, FL Virgin Islands, Cozumel, plays de carmen, and Cancun in just the last 2 years with Marcinko.  The names she has associated with him and these visits include Clinton’s, Bidens, Wayne, older politicians and lawyers.  She has a photographic memory and is an excellent artist who made sketches of some of these men.  These US agents who attacked, raped her and her guardian are under arrest in Mexico and have asked her and her guardian to drop all charges against them so that all the harrassing attacks stop.  I don’t trust these people to not harm herand her guardian due to all the past attacks.

If you want to interview her, let me know and we can arrange for you to talk.

NY OGA simply responded, “Ok I will let you know thanks”

Reports are emerging on social media that Paul Brown, the FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Atlanta Field Office, was “forced out of that job earlier this month,” according to MSNOW’s Ken Dilanian.

According to MSNOW, Brown “was forced out this month after questioning the Justice Department’s renewed push to probe Fulton County’s role in the 2020 election” after “expressing concern” about “unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud” in Fulton County.

On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit published a 26-count report that was shared with the Department of Justice.  The document allegedly details extensive acts of maladministration and evidence destruction in Fulton County related to the 2020 election. The publication maintains that the claims are supported by citations and corroborating materials, countering Dilanian’s characterization of them as “unsubstantiated.”

The Gateway Pundit has received an FBI letter purportedly sent in response to the 26-count report. The letter, addressed to Fulton County Elections Director Nadine Williams, was signed by Special Agent in Charge Brown and requested that the county “voluntarily produce” election materials from 2020, including:

• paper ballots
• ballot envelopes
• voter “tallie” sheets
• batch “tallie” sheets
• tabulator “pole” tapes
• tabulator “pole” tapes
• documents related to tabulator “pole” tapes.

Sources familiar with the matter stated that Brown’s removal may have been linked to dissatisfaction within the Justice Department over how he handled the response to the 26-count report. Instead of pursuing a probable cause search warrant, Brown reportedly opted to send the request letter.  The letter followed multiple prior efforts spanning several years to obtain the same election materials.

Notably, the letter contained several typographical errors, including “tallie” in place of “tally” and “pole” instead of “poll.” It also lacked a date of origin and, more concerningly, did not include a compliance deadline for Director Williams.

Previous efforts to obtain Fulton County election records include a formal request from then-Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, three subpoenas issued by the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) associated with an ongoing complaint investigation, and multiple lawsuits seeking access to physical ballots and related records.  One of these cases has reportedly been awaiting a hearing for more than 1,100 days since being remanded to a lower court by the Georgia Supreme Court.

Earlier this month, a Georgia Superior Court judge ordered Fulton County to comply with one of those subpoenas; however, it notably did not include the physical ballots.

The source noted that the FBI has acted diligently and professionally in the investigation since Brown’s ouster.

THE FBI SAC TRIED TO SLOW WALK THIS.

I am told that this letter, in response to a 26 count report LOADED with MASSIVE discrepancies, violations of law and rules & regulations, destruction of evidence, maladministration and so much more….

The post EXCLUSIVE: Atlanta Field Office Special Agent in Charge Allegedly Removed For Slow-Walking Election Fraud Investigation appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Earlier this week, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center.  The Gateway Pundit reported that sources claimed that Georgia State Election Board Complaint 2023-025 as the basis of the warrant.

The Gateway Pundit has now obtained a special report that was delivered to the Department of Justice and the FBI outlining the potential violations of law in the conduct of the 2020 Presidential Election in Fulton County.  This is believed to be the basis for probable cause used to secure the search warrant.

The report outlines, where applicable, the corresponding Georgia Law and/or Rules & Regulations violated by the action of each alleged Count.

Count 1, for example, states:

On September 30, 2020, the Secretary of State directed county officials to install
untested and uncertified software (version 5.5.10.32) written the week before on 34,000
Ballot Marking Devices across the state before it was tested or submitted to the
Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”) as required. To be clear- this was not a
patch, but a complete installation of a new and untested software version.

This potentially violates O.C.G.A. § 21-2-374 according to the report’s authors.

Additionally, the report includes numerous other issues including:

• Failure to perform Logic & Accuracy testing as required by Georgia law
• Ordering over one million “extra” absentee ballots (not alleged to be a violation of law)
• Failure to perform any signature verification in both the 2020 primary and general elections
• Swapping of 35 memory cards during a live election
• Cutting Security Seals, removing memory cards, and “fraudulent returns” then printed on “surrogate machines”
• 20,713 ballots attributed to ten advance voting machines with no provenance
• Failure to preserve election records from the initial November 3, 2020 count
• Unauthorized access and control of Fulton County’s election operations, voting systems, and data
• No reconciliation or canvass performed in violation of Georgia law
• Ballot paper authentication disabled across the entire state of Georgia
• Thousands of ballots added to the post-election hand-count audit
• 3,930 ballots intentionally scanned and counted more than once for the recount
• Missing ballot image records from the recount
• Voting system encryption keys provided to counties unprotected in plain text
• 103.6 percent and 113.8 percent “citizen voting age population registered to vote” in Georgia and in Fulton County, respectively
• Hundreds of test ballots included in the official results
• Failure to “Create, maintain, preserve, or produce a numbered list of voters for all of advance voting”
• Created Daily Recap Sheets after the election, not during the election as required by Georgia law
• Fulton County’s official records include 22,534 more ballots cast than voters credited with casting a ballot
• Thousands of ballots included in the original count are missing from the recount, and thousands of ballots in the recount are missing from the original count

Report of Investigation Fulton 2020 by kmoncla

Mainstream media outlets, pundits, and elected officials have claimed for years that multiple investigations have been conducted and yielded no evidence of fraud or maladministration regarding Georgia’s running of the 2020 election.

There should be little doubt that the results in Georgia’s 2020 election were/are unverifiable given these egregious examples of maladministration and alleged criminal actions.

While President Trump would have still been short in the electoral count had he won Georgia, the U.S. Senate was handed to Joe Biden with the run-off election of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, giving Joe Biden a “trifecta” in federal government:  the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.

The midterms are 10 months away, but Donald Trump is already meddling in them.
