Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a trove of declassified documents Monday, revealing the flimsy work, biased evidence and lack of first-hand accounts the former intelligence community inspector general used to advance the 2019 impeachment of President Trump. Michael Atkinson, the former IC inspector general, did not follow proper procedures, according to Gabbard, before he sent a whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s infamous July 2019 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Congress — which formed the basis of congressional Democrats’ first failed Trump impeachment effort. 3 Gabbard argued the declassified documents show the 2019 Trump impeachment was “concocted” by Democrats.
