DNI Gabbard Overrules CIA to Publish Largely Unredacted Trump-Russia Files

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has overridden objections from the Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence bodies that sought to expand redactions in a newly declassified report alleging the Obama administration fabricated elements of the Trump–Russia collusion narrative, the Washington Post reported. Agency officials argued that additional black-outs were required to protect sensitive "sources and methods." Gabbard, whose office holds ultimate declassification authority, directed that nearly the full text of the 114-page report, an accompanying 11-page memorandum and an 8-page June 2025 CIA note be released with only limited redactions. The disclosure forms part of Gabbard’s wider review of how the intelligence community handled the 2016 election. Publication of the documents is expected to sharpen scrutiny of the Obama-era assessment of Russian interference and of the internal processes used by U.S. spy agencies to vet politically sensitive intelligence.
