Gabbard’s Russian Media Consumption Raises Concerns Over DNI Nomination
Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence is facing significant opposition due to her past pro-Russia statements and alleged consumption of Kremlin propaganda. Concerns, voiced by former aides and high-ranking intelligence officials, center on her perceived sympathy towards Russia and Syria, potentially compromising her ability to lead the intelligence community. Republican senators, while prioritizing other controversial nominees, privately express doubts about her fitness for office, suggesting a difficult confirmation process ahead. Gabbard’s nomination is considered the most challenging of several controversial Trump cabinet picks.
