Here’s what’s publicly reported about Tulsi Gabbard and criminal referrals related to Trump impeachment as of mid-April 2026.
Multiple outlets reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued criminal referrals to the Justice Department related to individuals involved in Trump’s first impeachment and the handling of a whistleblower complaint linked to that period. The referrals were described as requests for DOJ to investigate specific officials and actions surrounding the 2019 impeachment process. These reports emphasize that the referrals are requests for criminal scrutiny rather than confirmations of charges.[3][4][9]
Coverage on April 14–15, 2026 highlighted that Gabbard’s office released documents and statements criticizing the handling by the then-IC Inspector General and discussing potential policy or legal concerns with how the whistleblower information was processed. DOJ involvement was described as discretionary, with prosecutors deciding whether to open any investigation.[4][9]
Some outlets framed the move as part of ongoing battles over impeachment-era intelligence oversight, noting that no charges had yet been filed and that the referrals themselves do not establish criminal wrongdoing without a prosecutorial decision.[5][7]
