Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Found The 'Smoking Gun' - Gabbard Has Just Revealed a Plot to Divert Ukraine Aid To...
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified an intelligence summary that raises questions about whether U.S. taxpayer funds intended for Ukraine may have been part of a broader scheme to benefit Democratic political operations and then-President Joe Biden. The allegation is now under review after Gabbard requested a deeper examination of the underlying records by officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The declassified document is a summary of raw intelligence intercepts collected by U.S. agencies in late 2022. Officials who reviewed the material said the allegation did not appear to receive significant follow-up inside the government at the time. According to the summary, the alleged plan involved using foreign aid channels as a political pipeline. The report claims Ukrainian officials and unspecified U.S. personnel working through USAID in Kyiv discussed funding an infrastructure project that would serve as a cover for redirecting money.
The summary states that the plan would provide hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90 percent of funds allocated to the Democratic National Committee to support Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. It further notes that the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At that point, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose.
The summary said the alleged plan relied on subcontracting layers to make tracking funds difficult. Officials said two American subcontractors were referenced in the intercepts, but their names remain redacted in the declassified version. The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track. Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify.
Gabbard asked officials at USAID to conduct a review of contracts, payments, and internal communications tied to the claims. The effort could lead to a criminal referral to the Federal Bureau of Investigation if supporting evidence is found. Officials familiar with the matter said Gabbard’s team has not identified evidence that the Biden administration fully investigated the claims at the time. Those officials said the intercepts are also not tied to Russian disinformation efforts.
The allegations come at a sensitive time for Ukraine as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues negotiations with envoys from President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war with Russia. Ukraine has faced ongoing scrutiny over corruption concerns even as it receives continued Western support. The declassified summary has prompted calls for greater transparency in how foreign aid is monitored and accounted for by U.S. agencies.
Separately, President Trump commented over the weekend that Gabbard has a “softer” stance than he does on Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. He added that he still has confidence in his director of national intelligence. “I would say that I am very strong on the fact that I don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon because if they had a nuclear weapon they’d use it immediately. I think she’s probably a little softer on that issue, but that’s okay. Some people are,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “Most people aren’t. Most people are saying thank you very much for doing what you did.” When asked whether he still has confidence in Gabbard, Trump responded, “Yeah, sure. I mean she’s a little bit different in her thought process than me, but that doesn’t make somebody not available to serve.”
The developments reflect ongoing debates over foreign aid oversight, intelligence handling, and the intersection of national security policy with domestic political considerations. The declassified summary has not been independently verified in full, and no formal charges have been filed based on its contents. The review requested by Gabbard is expected to examine whether any improper diversion occurred and whether existing safeguards were sufficient to prevent such activity.

Legal and policy experts note that foreign aid programs have historically faced scrutiny for accountability, particularly during periods of rapid disbursement such as the response to the war in Ukraine. The Biden administration had defended its aid packages as critical to countering Russian aggression and supporting a key partner. The current review could influence future congressional oversight of similar assistance programs.
As the situation develops, Congress and the executive branch continue to monitor Ukraine-related funding and intelligence matters closely. The declassified summary adds to the public record on how aid was managed and whether any irregularities occurred. Further updates are anticipated as the USAID review proceeds and any potential referrals are evaluated by federal authorities.
