Senate committee endorses Tulsi Gabbard for next intelligence chief


The Senate Intelligence Committee voted 9-8 to support Tulsi Gabbard as President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, paving the way for a full Senate vote on her confirmation. Gabbard faced tough questioning from Republicans about her stance on Edward Snowden and surveillance programs, but ultimately received support from key GOP senators. Snowden leaked information on U.S. surveillance in 2013 and is currently residing in Russia. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who later backed Trump, has been accused of echoing propaganda from Russia and the Assad regime in Syria. She has denied these allegations and defended her positions on national security and military interventions. As director of national intelligence, Gabbard would oversee 18 intelligence agencies and advise the president on intelligence matters. Despite criticism of her views and past affiliations, Gabbard has emphasized her military service and independence from political influences. Though she has opposed some of Trump’s policies in the past, Gabbard expressed a shift in her views during her confirmation hearing, acknowledging where she had been mistaken. Moving forward, the full Senate will decide on Gabbard’s confirmation, with uncertainty surrounding potential opposition from Republican members.
