WASHINGTON, D.C. — A classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard centers on an intercepted intelligence report referencing Jared Kushner in discussions involving Iran, according to multiple media reports.
The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported that the National Security Agency intercepted a conversation last year between two foreign nationals who mentioned Kushner while discussing Iran policy. The whistleblower alleges Gabbard restricted distribution of the intelligence and delayed broader dissemination to Congress for political reasons after meeting with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The complaint, reportedly submitted in May 2025, claims the intelligence was withheld for approximately eight months before lawmakers were allowed to review a heavily redacted version on a secure, read-and-return basis.
Senior administration officials told The Wall Street Journal that allegations discussed in the intercept were unverified or demonstrably false. Gabbard has denied wrongdoing, calling the claims “baseless and politically motivated.”
Republican Sen. Tom Cotton said he reviewed the complaint and found it “not credible,” stating inspectors general handled the matter appropriately.
It remains unclear whether Congress will pursue further investigation. The whistleblower’s attorney has urged the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to release the full complaint to lawmakers.
