Donald Trump’s son-in-law was reportedly being discussed in call between foreign intelligence officials that was intercepted and allegedly supressed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard

A whistleblower complaint raised against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last year revolves around President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to reports.

The highly-classified complaint, submitted in May 2025, alleged that the National Security Agency failed to publish an intelligence report about a phone conversation, intercepted by a foreign spy service, between two overseas intelligence officials concerning Iran in which a person linked to Trump was under discussion.

Instead, the complaint alleged, Gabbard presented a paper copy to the president’s chief of staff Susie Wiles, and told the NSA to supply further details to her office, rather than making it more widely available within the intelligence community as would have been expected.

The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal now report that the Trump associate who was mentioned in the call was Kushner.

    While the anonymous whistleblower clearly felt the invocation of Kushner was significant – hence their decision to file the complaint against Gabbard, accusing her of suppressing it on political grounds – others within the intelligence world have dismissed the affair as mere “gossip,” according to the Times.

    Don’t believe the anonymous whistleblower, believe the lyingest liars of the current generation!

      Given the amount of energy that went into suppressing it, it feels like there is probably something more serious going on.

      others within the intelligence world have dismissed the affair as mere “gossip,” according to the Times.

      The irony of them trying to act like this is just gossip after they absolutely lost their minds trying to find anything to indict Hunter Biden over would be really funny if we still lived in a sane and rational world where the president isn’t leading a literal Nazi regime.
