National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard on Feb. 2 defended her presence at a Fulton County elections office while FBI agents executed a search warrant there, saying President Donald Trump had requested that she go to the Georgia office and that she has the authority to take action related to election integrity and security.

“Interference in U.S. elections is a threat to our republic and a national security threat,” Gabbard said in a letter to members of Congress.
