Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard moved to terminate federal intelligence employees accused of sending “pornographic” messages using government communications systems. 

Gabbard announced Tuesday she would fire over 100 workers in the federal intelligence community and revoke their security clearances after an investigation reported they used a National Security Agency chat system to send “obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit” messages. The messages “hijacked at least two channels—LBTQA and IC_Pride_TWG—to discuss fetishes, kink, and sex,” researchers said, that was “legitimized” under NSA’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
