Gabbard's White House Appearance Fuels Debate on Russia Probe
Imagine a big debate where people disagree about what happened in an election.
Tulsi Gabbard, who works in intelligence, is now sharing her views on how Russia may have been involved.
She's saying some important people may have tried to hurt a politician.
She claims that those people made things up.
Other people disagree, saying Gabbard is being unfair and possibly choosing sides instead of focusing on the facts.
Some people are asking if this is fair and whether she is trying to change the story by doing so.
Tulsi Gabbard, the national intelligence director, used a White House appearance to attack President Trump's political enemies related to the Russia investigation.
Gabbard presented what she called proof of a coup by the Obama administration, claiming they fabricated evidence to taint Trump's victory.
She released a report from the Republican staff of the House Intelligence Committee, downplaying Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The Justice Department announced a "strike force" to investigate Gabbard's findings.
Democrats have called for Gabbard's resignation, citing her partisanship and loyalty to Trump over her duty.
