RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
From a committee chaired by the now secretary of state. But let’s talk about Tulsi Gabbard, now director of national intelligence. I want to play what she had to say during a White House briefing on Wednesday. About what evidence she has that refutes these earlier investigations that director brennan was talking about. Watch this.
>> What do you now have that refutes those two?
>> I will encourage.
>> You, in my role as the director of national intelligence.
>> My job.
>> Again, as.
>> I said when I came into this.
>> Role, was to make sure that.
>> We are.
>> Telling the.
>> Truth to the American people and that we are ensuring.
>> That the. Intelligence community is not being politicized. So I’m not asking you to.
>> Take my word for it.
>> I’m asking you in.
>> The media to conduct honest journalism and the American people. To see for yourself in the documents.
>> That.
>> We’ve released.
>> Now.
>> It’s your belief.
>> That those two previous investigations miss that or covered it up.
>> I’m telling.
>> You. To look.
>> At.
>> The evidence.
>> Look at the evidence, and you will.
>> Know.
>> The truth.

>> Eight years. We know what the truth is.
>> What’s she doing there?

>> She’s projecting.
>> Obviously.
>> She’s engaged in the politicization.
>> Of intelligence.
>> To support Donald Trump. And so she.
>> Is pointing to.
>> Previous intelligence.
>> You know.
>> Products that we put.
>> Out and.
>> Saying that this was a political.
>> You know. Politically designed product. I think what she’s trying to do is to gain the good graces.
>> Of Donald Trump. Clearly.
>> Several weeks.
>> Ago, she was.
>> On the outs.

>> You know.
>> That she was wrong.
>> When.
>> She said. Earlier that the Iranian.
>> Nuclear program.
>> The weaponization.
>> Program.
>> Had not restarted.
>> And so.
>> I.
>> Think there was seeing that she was not.
>> Being invited to meetings, she.
>> Was. Not in the confidence.
>> Of Donald Trump.
>> And others.
>> And so in a very, I.
>> Think, hurried sort of exposition here of information, she. Puts this out. I wish.
>> She would.
>> Look at the evidence.
>> I wish she would look at the assessment. I wish she would look at the reviews that were done. But clearly she is not interested in the facts.
>> She’s not.
>> Interested in the truth. She’s just interested in trying to cast aspersions at intelligence professionals who really did their best under
