Tom Cotton and Rep. Rick Crawford mean the complaint is unlikely to proceed further, though Democratic lawmakers who also have seen the document said they continue to question why it took Gabbard\u2019s office eight months to refer the complaint to Congress as required by law.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard\u2019s office has <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gabbard-complaint-warner-intelligence-classified-93ae8bc42c475affa017fcb3e2bf1270\">rejected any allegations of wrongdoing<\/a> as well as criticism of the timeframe for the referral, saying the complaint included so many classified details that it necessitated an extensive legal and security review. Select lawmakers were able to view the complaint this week.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton wrote Thursday on X that he agreed with an earlier inspector general\u2019s conclusion that the complaint did not appear to be credible. He said he believes the complaint was prompted by political opposition to Gabbard and the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be frank, it seems like just another effort by the president\u2019s critics in and out of government to undermine policies that they don\u2019t like,\u201d wrote the Arkansas Republican, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the complaint, Cotton\u2019s office referred to his social media post.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford, the House Intelligence Committee chairman also of Arkansas, said he believes the complaint was an attempt to smear Gabbard\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are pushing for explanations about why it took Gabbard\u2019s office months to refer the complaint to the required members of Congress. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the law requires such a report to be sent within 21 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe law is clear,\u201d Warner said Thursday at the Capitol. \u201cI think it was an effort to try to bury this whistleblower complaint.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1404700\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter size-article_inline\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenewsherald.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Congress_Intelligence_Director_Georgia_51140_1aad2d.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sen.

Jim Himes of Connecticut, said in a written statement that he will keep looking into the matter.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/26798273-ic-ig-memo\/\">a memo sent to lawmakers<\/a> this week, the intelligence community\u2019s inspector general said the complaint also accused Gabbard\u2019s office of general counsel of failing to report a potential crime to the Department of Justice. The memo, which contains redactions, does not offer further details of either allegation.<\/p>\n<p>Last June, then-inspector general Tamara Johnson found that the claim Gabbard distributed classified information along political lines did not appear to be credible, according to the current watchdog, Christopher Fox. Johnson was \u201cunable to assess the apparent credibility\u201d of the accusation about the general counsel\u2019s office, Fox wrote in the memo.<\/p>\n<p>Fox said he would have deemed the complaint non-urgent, unlike the previous inspector general, but respected the decision of his predecessor and therefore sent it to lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Copies of the top-secret complaint were hand-delivered this week to the \u201cGang of Eight\u201d \u2014 a group comprised of the House and Senate leaders from both parties as well as the four top lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committees.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Bakaj, attorney for the person who made the complaint, has said that while he cannot discuss the details of the report or the identity of its author, there is no justification for keeping it from Congress since last spring. Bakaj is a former CIA officer and chief legal counsel at Whistleblower Aid.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard coordinates the work of the nation\u2019s 18 intelligence agencies.
