Trump chooses Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence
President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday he’s selected former Democratic congresswoman-turned Trump supporter Tulsi Gabbard as his pick to be director of national intelligence, Paralel.Az reports citing CNN.
The selection of Gabbard is sure to set off a major confirmation fight.
Gabbard, an Army National Guard veteran, unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020 as a Democrat but said she was leaving the Democratic Party in 2022. She campaigned with Trump and served on his transition team.
