DNI Denies CIA Raided Tulsi Gabbard's Office Amid Allegations of Document Seizure

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has denied claims that the CIA raided the office of DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard to seize documents related to the MKUltra program and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Olivia Coleman, the press secretary for ODNI, refuted the allegations, which were initially spread by a since-deleted post from Fox News host Jesse Watters. Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida clarified that while the CIA did take documents under ODNI's jurisdiction, it was not a raid. Luna's claims stem from a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing where CIA whistleblower James Erdman alleged that the agency took about 40 boxes of documents related to JFK and MKUltra. The CIA has not commented on these allegations.
