U.S. intelligence chiefs ordered agencies to tighten surveillance on Greenland, the first tangible step toward President Donald Trump’s oft-stated goal of bringing the Arctic island under American control, sources leaked to The Wall Street Journal.

The directive instructed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Security Administration (NSA) and the CIA to identify Greenlandic and Danish figures who might back U.S. objectives and to gauge public sentiment toward American resource extraction, the outlet reported Tuesday. Its emergence triggered immediate pushback from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who accused unnamed officials of leaking in order to thwart the administration.

“The Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of aiding deep state actors who seek to undermine the President by politicizing and leaking classified information,” Gabbard said in a statement to the Journal. “They are breaking the law and undermining our nation’s security and democracy.”

The “collection emphasis message,” reportedly first circulated late last week, expands intelligence priorities beyond traditional threat targets to Denmark, whose kingdom still formally includes Greenland. A National Security Council spokesman declined to discuss intelligence matters with the Journal but noted that “the president has been very clear that the U.S. is concerned about the security of Greenland and the Arctic.”

Trump has repeatedly declared — most recently in a March joint address to Congress — that Washington “needs” Greenland “for national security and even international security” as is prepared to acquire it “one way or the other.” Asked by NBC News on Sunday whether he would rule out using force, the president said he “won’t rule out anything.”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Thursday she has a large team working overtime to archive government documents related to the 1968 assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. ahead of their release to the public.

“I’ve had over 100 people working around the clock to scan the paper,” Gabbard told President Trump during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “These have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades — they have never been scanned or seen before.”

“We’ll have those ready to release here within the next few days,” she added.

Kennedy, who was the brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy and also served as his attorney general, was running for the Democratic presidential nomination when he was shot after a campaign event in California.

King, who was one of the most prominent leaders of the Civil Rights Movement at the time of his death, was shot at a hotel in Memphis, Tenn. (Read more from “Gabbard: ‘100 People’ Working ‘Around the Clock’ on RFK, MLK Assassination Files” HERE)

The Associated Press (AP) retracted a story Tuesday claiming that U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard publicly referred to President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as “very good friends.”

The outlet withdrew its story titled, “Gabbard Says Trump And Putin Are ‘Very Good Friends’ Focused On Strengthening Ties,” before publishing a correction clarifying that Gabbard was referring to Trump’s friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AP announced.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” that employees at the National Security Agency tied to explicit chatrooms will be terminated based on a directive she had issued.

Host Jesse Waters said, “I told you how government chat rooms were being used to brag about fetishes and kinks. A journalist just uncovered more messages. Journalist Christopher Rufo just uncovered more messages. Viewer warning. Creeps that the NSA were fantasizing about having hermaphrodite babies so they could raise the nonbinary. They were also trashing conservatives like Ben Shapiro, calling them effen monsters. And after Pat Robertson died, CIA workers celebrated. ‘I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good.’ The NSA was also caught badmouthing RFK but they really don’t like Tulsi Gabbard. They say she’s fervently anti-queer, a Russian agent and in the MAGA cult. This is the deep state the media says is fake. They’ve been shrouded in bureaucracy forever and we are shining a light on the infection and cleaning it out.”

He asked, “What are we going to do about that?

Tulsi Gabbard’s skeptics in the Senate have questioned her qualifications for Director of National Intelligence (DNI), but past DNIs who were confirmed with bipartisan support oversaw flagrant civil liberties abuses and major intelligence failures.

Many of the Democrats, and even some of the Republicans, who have expressed skepticism toward Gabbard supported her predecessors in the Biden and Obama administrations.

Gabbard’s harshest opponent, Virginia Democrat and vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Sen. Mark Warner, implied in his opening statement that she may be legally unqualified for the position. The DNI is required to have “extensive national security expertise,” Warner said.

Gabbard is a Lieutenant Colonel in the National Guard, and she served in the Army National Guard for over twenty years where she was deployed to Iraq and Kuwait. Gabbard also served on the House Armed Services committee as a member of Congress from 2013 to 2021.

Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell has been notably silent on Gabbard’s nomination. He was also one of the Republicans who voted against confirming Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense.
