Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, will face intense scrutiny during her Senate confirmation hearing today. Lawmakers will question Tulsi over her apologist stance on foreign dictators and her controversial 2017 visit with Syria’s now-deposed leader.
Gabbard’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee will be an important test for her nomination. Her nomination had raised concerns within the intelligence community. Nearly 100 former intelligence and national security officials—including ex-CIA agents and former deputy secretaries of state—had signed a letter urging senators to review her record in a closed-door session. If her nomination is confirmed, Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, will oversee all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. In a full floor vote, Democratics are expected to vote against Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation to lead the National Intelligence
