Former Officials Condemn Gabbard’s Pro-Dictator Stance
A letter signed by nearly 100 former U.S. officials strongly opposes President-elect Trump’s nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, citing concerns about her judgment and fitness for the role. The letter highlights Gabbard’s meetings with dictators such as Assad and Putin, including a 2017 trip to Syria and support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These actions, the officials argue, raise serious questions about her suitability for the position. The letter urges Senate leaders to conduct closed-door briefings before confirming her nomination.
