...........The intelligence community inspector general, Christopher Fox, provided the complaint to the so-called Gang of Eight in person in a secure room in Congress last week on a “read-and-return” basis, meaning lawmakers weren’t able to take any files with them or take notes.

Following review of the complaint, Sen. Tom Cotton, the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said it wasn’t credible and handled appropriately by Gabbard.

Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, countered Sunday that he couldn’t judge the veracity or credibility of the complaint in part because the version shared with Congress was so heavily redacted.

“The complaint is so redacted, it’s hard to get to the bottom of it.” Warner said, adding that he was pressing to obtain the unredacted version as well as the underlying intelligence intercepts at issue.
