White House officials have provided increasingly dubious accounts for why Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was present at the FBI raid on a Georgia election office earlier this week. The incident, which saw 2020 ballots seized from the office, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the White House's handling of the situation.
According to the latest explanation offered by the White House, Gabbard was merely at the scene "out of curiosity" after learning that her office had been served with a search warrant. However, in a bizarre twist, officials later claimed that she actually requested permission from the FBI to enter the building and had planned to meet with agents.
The shifting explanations have raised suspicions among lawmakers and critics about potential motives behind Gabbard's presence at the raid. Critics argue that her involvement could be seen as an attempt to politicize the situation or create a narrative that she was somehow complicit in the events unfolding at the election office.
The White House has yet to provide clear answers on why Gabbard was actually involved at the scene, and the explanations have only served to fuel further scrutiny of the administration's handling of sensitive information.
