A batch of intelligence officials reportedly were aghast when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shared the name of an ‘undercover’ agent on social media earlier this month.
But senior intelligence officials tell the Daily Mail that this ‘undercover’ CIA official did not have her cover blown; In fact, the agent is well-known publicly as an agency employee and even was scheduled to speak at an intelligence conference in April.
The DNI posted on August 19 the names of 37 current and former intelligence officials who would be stripped of their security clearances. Her letter accused the officials of politicization, failure to protect classified information, violations of tradecraft and other detrimental conduct.
