White House officials are continuing to provide increasingly conflicting explanations for why US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was at a January raid on an FBI search of a Georgia election office.
In the aftermath of the raid, where evidence linked to the 2020 elections was seized, President Donald Trump initially claimed that Gabbard had been in contact with sources "within the other side" - referring to the Democrats. However, this explanation has since been retracted.
Trump later stated that Gabbard's presence at the office was merely a coincidence and that he was simply there for a "visit." Nevertheless, his administration maintains that Gabbard's role at the center of the investigation is still being scrutinized.
The White House has repeatedly refused to provide any concrete information regarding Gabbard's involvement in the raid. As a result, multiple conflicting claims have been put forth - each contradicting previous ones. The shifting explanations cast further doubt on the administration's credibility and raise questions about whether there was anything to hide from the public.
Gabbard herself has not commented publicly on her presence at the Georgia election office, fueling speculation as to why she was involved.
