Sean Hannity interviews Senator Tom Cotton about alleged politicization within the intelligence community, including claims of leaks by James Comey and reforms announced by DNI Tulsi Gabbard to streamline the office. Cotton argues the DNI has become bloated and supports staff reductions, clearance revocations, and declassification to refocus on coordination rather than collection. They assert that Democratic appointees drove faulty 2016 assessments and that FBI/DOJ actions, including the Mar-a-Lago raid and pre-2020 social media briefings, amounted to election interference. The discussion portrays legal actions against Donald Trump as politically motivated "lawfare" and calls for accountability via potential charges such as lying to investigators or obstruction. Later, Hannity credits National Guard deployments and policing initiatives in Washington, D.C., with a sharp drop in murders and highlights ongoing arrests and cleanup efforts.
