At 15:21 UTC, Trump referenced newly declassified intelligence materials and mentioned Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence. He wrote, "Donald J. Trump Truth Social 08.14.25 07:17 AM EST
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard: 'Newly declassified Top Secret emails sent on December 22, 2016 complying with President Obama's order to create the manufactured January 2017 ICA about Russia expose how DNI https://t.co/ekgEZHxCtb'".
Tulsi Gabbard was named Director of National Intelligence in early 2025 following a series of high-profile intelligence community appointments under the current administration. The mention of "manufactured January 2017 ICA about Russia" refers to longstanding debates over the origins and validity of the U.S. Intelligence Community Assessment regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Marine One is traditionally used for presidential travel and serves as an iconic symbol of executive mobility and security.
