When you hear about a politician making a "criminal referral," it sounds like a direct accusation, but it's actually a specific step in a much longer process. You'll learn why these referrals are often more about political theater than immediate legal action, especially when high-profile figures are involved.
Tulsi Gabbard is trending because she recently sent criminal referrals to federal agencies, targeting individuals involved in Donald Trump's 2019 impeachment proceedings.
Gabbard, a former Congresswoman, sent letters to the Justice Department and the FBI, alleging potential crimes like witness tampering and obstruction of justice by figures involved in Trump's first impeachment.
