Karoline Leavitt's Emotional Response: Trump’s Critique of Gabbard Echoes in Tense Interview

During a recent White House briefing, assertive CNN host Kaitlan Collins challenged Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard with incisive inquiries about her recently released report. This document has raised concerns among many, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who displayed visible frustration as Collins questioned Gabbard regarding allegations of treason against former President Obama and other officials linked to the 2016 election. Right-wing commentator Meghan McCain joined the debate, insisting that President Trump should revoke Gabbard's press credentials, criticizing Collins as a “partisan hack” and referring to Gabbard and Leavitt's efforts as critical to exposing corruption and safeguarding the nation. Collins pressed Gabbard over the timing of her disclosures, given Trump’s prior dismissal of her intelligence assessments. Gabbard firmly defended her report, asserting the evidence was undeniable. The exchange underscored sharp divides in political discourse, raising concerns about the credibility of journalism in today’s charged climate. (Credit: Video Screengrab/Aaron Ruper/X)
