Summary
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is an independent U.S. government agency established in 2004 to integrate and oversee the Intelligence Community (IC), serving as the principal advisor to the President on intelligence matters. Under the leadership of Director Tulsi Gabbard during the Donald Trump administration, the ODNI is actively engaged in declassifying documents and referring findings to the Department of Justice concerning what Gabbard describes as a "Russiagate Hoax." This alleged hoax, according to Gabbard, involved politicized intelligence orchestrated by the outgoing Obama Administration to undermine President Trump, with key figures like James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey reportedly reversing initial intelligence assessments and leveraging questionable sources like the Steele Dossier. The ODNI's mission is to provide timely and objective national intelligence and ensure effective integration of foreign, military, and domestic intelligence.
