Tulsi Gabbard running solo 2020 election inquiry separate from FBI investigation

Exclusive: Trump endorsed national intelligence director's sweeping review by sending her on Georgia raid last week

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is running her own review into the 2020 election with Donald Trump's approval, working separately from a justice department investigation even as she joined an FBI raid of an election center in Georgia last week.

Her presence at the raid drew criticism from Democrats and former intelligence officials, who questioned why the country's top intelligence officer with no domestic law enforcement powers would appear at the scene of an FBI raid.
