Tulsi Gabbard

On this Special Report, the focus is on US Vice President J.D. Vance’s dismissal of reports suggesting a rift within the administration regarding the recent operation in Venezuela. Addressing a White House press conference, Vance refuted claims that he and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Chief Tulsi Gabbard were excluded from the planning stages of the mission to capture Nicolas Maduro. Vance stated, 'One, that I was kept out of the planning for the Venezuela operation, that's false. And another, that Tulsi was kept out of the planning for Venezuela operations, that's completely false.' He emphasised that the operation was kept 'very tight' among senior cabinet officials to maintain secrecy. The Vice President’s remarks come after a Bloomberg report suggested Gabbard’s past non-interventionist stance led to her being sidelined. Vance clarified that Gabbard played a crucial role in overseeing the intelligence flow from the ODNI to the President, confirming the administration's unified front during the high-stakes operation.

This special report focuses on claims made by former US President Donald Trump during a Diwali event where he stated he had spoken to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about trade, India-Pakistan relations, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump asserted, 'he's not going to buy much oil from Russia... they've cut it way back, and they're continuing to cut it way back'. The event was also attended by political figures like Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. Following the call, Prime Minister Modi posted on social media, thanking Trump for the Diwali greetings and stating, 'may our two great democracies continue to illuminate the world with hope and stand united against terrorism in all its forms'. The report scrutinises Trump's repeated claims that India will curb Russian oil imports, a point which Indian officials have previously not confirmed.

This special report focuses on the diplomatic exchange between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former US President Donald Trump surrounding Diwali greetings, which became notable after Trump claimed he had mediated to prevent a war between India and Pakistan. In his response to Trump's Diwali wishes, Prime Minister Modi reportedly stated, 'May our two great democracies continue to illuminate the world with hope and stand united against terrorism in all its forms.' The dialogue highlighted a significant point of contention: Trump's repeated assertions of having brokered peace, versus India's unwavering and consistent official stance that rejects any third-party mediation in its bilateral matters with Pakistan. The exchange occurred in the context of a White House Diwali celebration attended by prominent figures including Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard.

This special report focuses on former US President Donald Trump's Diwali celebrations at the White House, where he claimed to have spoken with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about trade and regional peace. Trump stated, '...we did talk a little while ago about let's have no wars with Pakistan.' The programme delves into these claims, with correspondent Pranay Upadhyay providing analysis that questions Trump's trade assertions by pointing to the heavy tariffs his administration imposed on Indian goods. The report also notes that while Trump has repeatedly claimed his intervention prevented a conflict, India has consistently denied any third-party role in de-escalating tensions with Pakistan.

US President Donald Trump has escalated his attacks against his predecessor, Barack Obama, by posting a meme from the O.J. Simpson Bronco chase, depicting Obama as a fugitive being pursued by Trump. This follows a previous post of an AI-generated video showing Obama being arrested by the FBI. These social media attacks come as the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released documents related to the 2016 election probe and the alleged Russian involvement. The Trump administration is using these papers to support its position on the 2016 election, with a speaker in the report stating the administration “is claiming that the election was not rigged.” While Trump continues his online campaign against the former president, there has been no official reaction from Barack Obama's office.

Donald Trump has accused former president Barack Obama of orchestrating a 'coup' and conspiring against him in 2016. The allegation was amplified by Trump sharing a viral AI-generated video depicting Obama in jail. This comes as the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, claims to have proof that Obama weaponized intelligence agencies against Trump, alleging a 'treasonous conspiracy'. According to the transcript, 'this is an effort by President Donald Trump to implicate Barack Obama and his team for conspiring against him...which turned out to be a hoax.' Documents released by Gabbard's office reportedly indicate that earlier claims of Russian involvement in the 2016 election were a hoax created for political gain. The effort is seen as an attempt to implicate Obama and his team, including former officials Susan Rice and Samantha Power, though Barack Obama has not yet issued a formal response.

The transcript discusses conflicting views on Iran's nuclear capabilities between US President Donald Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Trump dismissed intelligence reports, stating Iran could have nuclear weapons within weeks or months. Gabbard clarified her position, accusing media of misrepresenting her testimony. The situation draws comparisons to pre-Iraq war intelligence debates.
