Trump Administration Tried to Bury Report Exposing Venezuelan Deportation Lies

Leaked Emails Expose Trump Administration's Attempt to Manipulate Intelligence Report: A new report reveals an attempt by the Trump administration to alter an intelligence report that contradicted the administration's claims about the Venezuelan government's alleged ties to a criminal organization. The leaked emails, obtained by The Daily Beast, show an effort to rewrite the report before its release. This alteration was reportedly done to prevent the report from being used against Trump. "We need to do some rewriting," said Joe Kent, top aide to Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, in one email. The original report debunked claims that the Venezuelan government controlled a powerful gang in the country. This misinformation was used to justify the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act. The incident raises serious questions about the integrity of intelligence gathering and the potential misuse of information for political purposes. The revelation underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in government.
