Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it.

Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals.

"I've got a long list of things that we're investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them," Gabbard said.

She continued, "We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections."

Appearing on Benny Johnson's show, Gabbard revealed that a whistleblower from CISA (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) came forward with alarming evidence showing the government was aware of massive vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines ahead of the 2020 election, but deliberately chose to stay silent.

Benny Johnson:
You made a comment at a Cabinet secretary meeting that has stuck with our audience, and they'd really love an update on it. It's about the 2020 election. You were talking about the security of that election, and you were telling President Trump that there has been evidence that has been uncovered in—of—well, potential breaches.

I'm not exactly certain, but I'd love a follow-up on this. Here's the moment right here. And perhaps—do you have any updates on the 2020 election or anything that you've found, Director?

Tulsi Gabbard:
The point that I was making there in the Cabinet meeting was early discovery that I had seen from a whistleblower who came forward—who was working under CISA at that time, which is responsible for critical infrastructure and trying to protect against cyber vulnerabilities. Critical infrastructure includes, of course, the integrity of our election systems.

What was interesting was seeing how this whistleblower brought forward information that CISA—at that time, the federal government—was aware of vulnerabilities in our election machines, but they chose not to disclose that information to the American people or to the administration at that time.
