EXCLUSIVE: Credible sources tell me that elements of the Intelligence Community (IC), federal law enforcement and Congress have targeted @DNIGabbard' s Director's Initiative Group or DIG because it revealed "uncomfortable facts and findings" on several matters entrenched members of these bureaucracies don't want out there.
I understand the push has been to "disband, dismantle or diminish the impact of the DIG and its work."
As one example, I confirmed through multiple sources that the report and findings into Directed Energy Attacks or AHIs (Anomalous Health Incidents) were finalized and prepped for release weeks ago. But there is strong IC resistance to releasing it.
DNI Gabbard committed to a new review of so-called Havana Syndrome after our 2025 independent investigation. Our reporting revealed that brain injuries suffered by US spies, diplomats, military operatives and civilians are progressive and can lead to brain cell death and atrophy.
When it was launched by DNI Gabbard, the DIG's stated goal was "rebuilding trust in the IC" by "investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest."
In response to our question's about the status and future of DIG, a DNI spokesperson said --
“The Director remains committed to rooting out politicization and weaponization in the IC and revealing the truth to the American people.”
We are reaching out to multiple agencies for comment to advance the reporting.
We will update as warranted.
