## Resource

A Washington Post investigation into Tulsi Gabbard and questions surrounding her successor, Bill Pulte, expose a deeper crisis inside US intelligence. Shane Harris joins Matt to examine how the Office of the Director of National Intelligence became vulnerable to political influence, why many intelligence veterans now believe it should be reformed or abolished, and what that means for the future of America's spy agencies.
