A spokesperson for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has denied reporting that the CIA raided the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and took files relating to the JFK Assassination and the CIA’s mind control program MKUltra. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, CIA whistleblower James Erdman III testified during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday that the CIA “took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard” in what he described as “documented efforts to circumvent oversight.”

This prompted Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to send a preservation letter to the CIA, demanding that all existing and future records related to the taken items be preserved.

“Docs need to be returned to ODNI given that ODNI was given direction and authority by the President to declass RFK, MLK, & JFK. Regarding MKULTRA, these were documents specifically requested by my Task Force and currently being used for our investigation,” Luna wrote on X.

However, DNI spokeswoman Olivia Coleman, in response to Fox News’s Jesse Watters reporting that Gabbard’s office was “JUST RAIDED,” denied the claims.

“This is false,” Coleman said. “The CIA did not raid the DNI’s office.”

Still, she did not deny that the documents were taken, as Erdman testified on Wednesday.

Luna also clarified her comments, noting that it was not a “raid” and that it had not occurred that day in a statement on X. “However it did take place and we are just being made aware of it based on reporting etc,” Luna said.

Clarification: Took documents that ODNI has jurisdiction over. Also, this did not happen today & was not a “raid” however it did take place and we are just being made aware of it based on reporting etc.
