US Spy Chief's Office Investigated Puerto Rico Voting Machines Amid Venezuela Hacking Claims

• President Trump's spy chief, Tulsi Gabbard's office, investigated Puerto Rico's voting machines last spring, a previously unreported event.
• The probe aimed to investigate claims of Venezuelan hacking, but found no clear evidence of interference in Puerto Rico's elections.
• Gabbard's office confirmed the investigation, stating its focus was on cybersecurity vulnerabilities and operational deployment practices, not Venezuela.
• The team took voting machines and data, citing "standard practice in forensics analysis," and found significant risks to US elections.
• The operation is seen as part of a broader Trump administration effort to pursue unproven allegations of voter fraud, raising concerns about ODNI's authority.
