100+ Intelligence Officers to Be Fired for Involvement in Explicit NSA Chatroom Scandal, Gabbard Announces
Topline
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has ordered the immediate termination of more than 100 intelligence officers who allegedly participated in sexually explicit discussions within internal NSA chatrooms, calling it a severe violation of trust and professional conduct within the U.S. intelligence community.
Key Facts
Mass Termination Ordered: Gabbard confirmed in an interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters that over 100 intelligence personnel across multiple agencies were involved in inappropriate conversations using official NSA platforms.
Security Clearances Revoked: Gabbard stated she issued a directive on Tuesday, ensuring all employees involved would lose their security clearances and be immediately dismissed from their roles.
NSA Platform Misuse: According to Gabbard, those involved were “brazen” in using government communication platforms, designed for national security collaboration, to engage in explicit discussions.
Right-Wing Activist Sparks Revelations: Conservative activist Christopher Rufo first reported the matter on X (formerly Twitter), stating that a directive had been sent to all U.S. intelligence agencies to identify and take action against the employees involved. Gabbard later confirmed the authenticity of the memo, adding: “We know who they are. Action is underway.”
NSA Acknowledges Investigation: In a statement on X, the National Security Agency (NSA) addressed the controversy, stating that it is aware of the misuse of government platforms and has launched an internal investigation to address the matter.
What Do We Know About the Chatroom Scandal?
While specific details about the explicit conversations have not been disclosed, Gabbard’s spokesperson, Alexa Henning, confirmed that the NSA internal chatrooms were being used for “obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit” discussions.
The intelligence community platforms are designed to facilitate collaboration on national security issues, making the misuse a serious breach of ethics and national security policy.
NSA’s Official Response
In an official statement on X, the NSA wrote:
“NSA is aware of posts that appear to show inappropriate discussions by IC personnel. IC collaboration platforms are intended to drive mission outcomes. Potential misuse of these platforms by a small group of individuals does not represent the community. Investigations to address this misuse of government systems are ongoing.”
Key Takeaway: The NSA has acknowledged the issue and is actively investigating to ensure accountability for the employees involved.
Key Background
Tulsi Gabbard’s Recent Appointment
- Gabbard was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) earlier this month in a 52-48 Senate vote, with most Republicans supporting her except Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who voted against her confirmation.
- McConnell cited Gabbard’s controversial past statements on foreign policy, particularly her stance on Russia-Ukraine and her defense of whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Gabbard’s Controversial Past
- She has previously faced criticism for amplifying Russian narratives about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine after Russia’s invasion in 2022.
- She has also been accused of defending authoritarian regimes, including Russia and Syria’s Bashar al-Assad.
What Happens Next?
Internal investigations into the misuse of NSA platforms will continue, and Gabbard’s directive is expected to be fully implemented in the coming days.
Intelligence agencies are required to provide detailed reports on the dismissals and ensure no further breaches of conduct occur.
More resignations or terminations could follow as additional details emerge.
