ODNI UAP Inquiry Shut Down Amid Whistleblower Intimidation Allegations

Liberation Times reported that a UAP inquiry conducted by the ODNI's Director's Initiatives Group (established by DNI Tulsi Gabbard) was wound down in February 2026 amid allegations that whistleblowers Matthew Brown and Dylan Borland were subjected to coordinated smear campaigns. Sources told Liberation Times that damaging allegations originated from within a SCIF, and that elements linked to the CIA allegedly worked to compromise the inquiry. No evidence of Gabbard's personal involvement was indicated.
