Disclaimer
The most important thing on this page: this site has no connection to the United States Government, and it holds no classified information.
No government affiliation
GangOf8.com is an independent, privately operated public-information resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the United States Government, the United States Congress, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Department of Justice, or any other federal, state, or local government body.
It is not affiliated with any officeholder, candidate, political party, campaign committee, political action committee, or advocacy organization.
No classified information
Every fact published on this site is drawn from publicly available sources: the United States Code, Congressional Research Service reports, congressional resolutions and public laws, official committee and chamber publications, and published reporting.
This site holds no classified material and makes no claim about the contents of any classified briefing. Gang of Eight notifications are, by statutory design, not public. Any page describing a notification describes only what appears in the public record, and identifies the evidentiary status of that record.
Individuals named on this site
Members of Congress are identified here solely by virtue of the public offices they hold or held, and solely in connection with the statutory function of those offices. Nothing on this site asserts that any named individual received any particular briefing, was aware of any particular operation, or engaged in any wrongdoing.
Biographical and office information is compiled from official congressional and committee sources. Corrections are welcome and are acted on promptly — see the corrections policy.
Ownership disclosure
This site is owned and operated by Leroy Godfrey Jr., who is a candidate for Berkeley County Council District 6 in South Carolina in the November 2026 general election. That is a local county office unrelated to federal intelligence policy. This site is not a campaign communication, takes no position on federal legislation, and endorses no candidate for any office. The disclosure is made as a matter of course.
Not legal advice
Nothing here is legal advice. See the terms of use.
Nickname disambiguation
The phrase "Gang of Eight" has been applied to other groups, including a bipartisan group of eight senators who developed immigration legislation in 2013. This site concerns only the congressional intelligence notification group defined at 50 U.S.C. § 3093(c)(2). The two are unrelated.
