JAKARTA - National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard said more than 100 intelligence employees were fired for explicit sexual conversations aka obscene chats.

In an interview with Fox News, Gabbard called the use of National Security Administration tools by them a "very large breach of trust" that contradicts rules and basic standards around professionalism.

"I issued a directive today that they will all be dismissed and their security clearance will be revoked," Gabbard said.

conservative activist Chris Rufo, who wrote for the City Journal, first revealed the news on Tuesday, February 25.

A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Gabbard had sent a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees participating in an explicit bulge, pornography, and sexual chat room' on Friday.

In an interview with Fox News, Gabbard said the government would continue to "clean up internally".

The office in recent weeks has also fired employees who lead the diversity initiative in the Biden administration.

It is unclear how many people in the intelligence community were told they would be fired. The effort was temporarily suspended while federal judges reviewed the legality of the action.
