The official pushed to rewrite the secret services so that she could not be “used” against Trump

New e -mails document how a top aid from Tulsi Gabbard, the director of the National Secret Service, has instructed analysts to edit an assessment in the hope of isolating President Trump and Ms. Gabard because they were attacked by the government's assertion to control the government of Venezuela a criminal gang.

“We have to rewrite some” and more analytical work “This is why this document is not used against the DNI or potus,” Joe Kent, Ms. Gabbard's chief of staff, wrote in an e -mail to a group of intelligence officers on April 3, with the position of Ms. Gabbard and for the president of the United States Shorthand.

Last week, the New York Times reported that Mr. Kent had caused the analysts to repeat her assessment of February 26 about the relationship between the government of Venezuela and the Bang Tren de Aragua after it came to light that the assessment of Mr. Trump's later claim contradicted. The disclosure of the exact language of Mr. Kent's e -mail has contributed to the image of a politicized intervention.

The last memo, dated April 7 and has become public, still contradicts an important claim that Mr. Trump has caused to send people who are accused of being members of the gang to be an infamous Salvadorical prison without proper procedure.

E -mails on this topic by Mr. Kent, who is also Mr. Trump's pending candidate to lead the national center of fighting terrorism, have spread within the secret service group and described by people who have been informed about them. Mr. Kent's interventions have triggered internal alarms about the politicization of intelligence analysis.

Mr. Kent's defenders denied that his attempted intervention was part of a pressure campaign and argued that he had tried to show more of what the intelligence group knew about the gang.
