A former Donald Trump official who has become a fierce critic has publicly urged the FBI to investigate Tulsi Gabbard, claiming her views pose "a serious threat to our national security."

In 2018, families filed a lawsuit against Jones for defamation and emotional distress and were awarded nearly $1.5 billion, leading to Jones filing bankruptcy.
