#DNI #ODNI #TulsiGabbard #Congress #Whistleblower

After a tipoff from a media organization, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) drafted a memo describing allegations that a federal security officer was responsible for the failed Jan. 6 pipe bombings. A copy was circulated at the officer's workplace and among Trump administration officials, and conservative site Blaze News published an article naming her. The woman in question has now been ruled out as a suspect after she provided an alibi: A video of her playing with her puppies at the time the devices were placed. @CBSNews looks into the ODNI's part in it all.
