Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence
President-elect Donald Trump has selected Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii turned staunch Trump ally, to be the next head of the U.S. intelligence community.

Even as a Democrat, Gabbard drew suspicion over her foreign policy views, which diverged from many in the party. Among those who criticized Gabbard was former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who described Gabbard as “the favorite of the Russians” during the Democratic primary in 2020.
