Tulsi Gabbard to Resign as Director of National Intelligence
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Tulsi Gabbard, the top intelligence official in the United States, informed President Donald Trump on Friday that she is resigning from her position following her husband’s cancer diagnosis, according to two senior administration officials. A third source familiar with Gabbard's plans told NBC News that her husband, Abraham Williams, has been diagnosed with a rare and serious type of cancer. Fox News was the first to report her resignation, with her last day set for June 30. Gabbard never secured a place in the president's inner circle. The former Democratic congresswoman broke with her party to endorse Trump for the 2024 presidency and had clashed with her counterpart at the CIA, John Ratcliffe, and other administration officials. During critical moments, as Trump deliberated over potential military action or watched live video feeds of operations in Iran or Venezuela, Gabbard was often not in the room, highlighting her outsider status. However, she was not sidelined like former Attorney General Pam Bondi or former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
