For a few hours on Wednesday evening, reports suggested that the Central Intelligence Agency had just taken extreme measures.
When the dust settled, however, reports were revised to clarify that the troubling incident — which Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee called potentially treasonous — actually took place months ago.
Late Wednesday on the social media platform X, Olivia Coleman, press secretary for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, refuted multiple reports that the CIA had raided Gabbard’s office and seized boxes of files pertaining to the 1963 assassination of PresidentJohn F. Kennedyand the CIA’s notorious MK Ultra mind-control experiments.
“This is false – the CIA did not raid the DNI’s office,” Coleman wrote on X.
The press secretary shared a since-deleted report from Fox News’ Jesse Watters.

In truth, however, the report originated not with Watters, but with active CIA agent James Erdman III.
On Wednesday,Erdmanappeared before Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky’s Senate Homeland Security Committee, where the agent testified regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci’s alleged “intentional” cover-up of the COVID-19 virus’ probable lab origins. Erdman’s testimony reportedly rankled some people at the CIA.
Then, on X, the news outlet Leading Report credited Erdman with revealing that “CIA seized 40 boxes of JFK and MK-ULTRA files that were being processed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for declassification.”
