DNI denies reports CIA 'raided' Tulsi Gabbard's office to seize documents related to JFK, MK Ultra

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence denied reports Wednesday night that the CIA "raided" National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard's office and seized documents related to MK-Ultra and the John F. Kennedy assassination. 

Fox News reported the alleged raid, which came from Florida GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who heads a special House Oversight taskforce related to declassifying government secrets. 

The alleged raid comes after Luna said she would be holding a hearing on the CIA's former project MK-Ultra, which conducted experiments and studied the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control and information-gathering purposes.

"This is false - the CIA did not raid the DNI’s office," DNI spokeswoman Olivia Coleman said on X in a rare rebuke of Fox News. 

Luna clarified that the incident did not occur on Wednesday, was not a raid and that the ODNI has jurisdiction over the seized documents.

"Clarification: Took documents that ODNI has jurisdiction over," Luna posted on X. "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."

It was not immediately clear what the operation could be classified as, but a U.S. intelligence official confirmed to Just The News that the incident was not a "raid."
