♠️♥️♣️♦️🃏

Tulsi Gabbard is an American politician and military officer who currently serves as the 

eighth Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in President Donald Trump’s second administration. She was confirmed by the Senate and took office on February 12, 2025. 

Career Overview

• Current Role: As DNI, she oversees the U.S. Intelligence Community, which comprises 18 intelligence agencies including the CIA and FBI, and is responsible for providing the President with timely, unbiased national security intelligence.
• Political Career: Gabbard previously represented Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from 2013 to 2021. She left the Democratic Party in 2022, became an independent, and officially joined the Republican Party in 2024, subsequently endorsing Donald Trump for president.
• Military Service: A combat veteran, Gabbard has served in the U.S. armed forces since 2003. She served in the Hawaii Army National Guard and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve in 2020, where she currently holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. She has deployed to Iraq and the Horn of Africa as part of her service. 

Key Positions and Controversies

Gabbard is known for her anti-interventionist foreign policy stance. Her career has included several notable moments and policy shifts: 

• 2020 Presidential Campaign: She ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination on an anti-interventionist platform, but later dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden. During her campaign, she was involved in a public dispute with Hillary Clinton, who suggested Gabbard was a “Russian asset,” a claim Gabbard strongly denied.
• Foreign Policy Views: She has faced scrutiny for her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and past comments that echoed Russian rationales regarding the Ukraine invasion, leading to accusations of amplifying Russian propaganda.
• Shift in Political Alignment: Her political views have notably shifted from supporting progressive causes like universal healthcare as a Democrat to aligning with conservative viewpoints after leaving the party, a move she explained by calling the Democratic Party an “elitist cabal of warmongers”.
• DNI Confirmation: Her nomination as DNI drew criticism from some, including Democratic congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, who questioned her qualifications and past actions. However, she was confirmed by the Senate with a 52-48 vote. 
• 
  Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence primarily centered on her lack of intelligence experience, past foreign policy views perceived as sympathetic to adversaries, and questionable judgment on national security issues
  . 
  Key criticisms included:
  Lack of Experience: Critics argued that Gabbard was “aggressively unqualified” for the role because she had no experience within the intelligence community itself, a significant departure from previous DNI nominees who typically had deep backgrounds in spy agencies or national security executive roles.
  Perceived Sympathy for Adversaries: A major point of contention was her history of public statements and actions that critics claimed echoed propaganda from Russia and Syria.Russia: She faced scrutiny for comments at the start of the Ukraine invasion in 2022 that blamed the U.S. and NATO for provoking Russia’s aggression.
  Syria: Her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has been accused of war crimes, drew widespread condemnation. Gabbard defended the meeting as an effort toward peace, but critics viewed it as evidence of poor judgment and an embrace of a dictator’s regime.
  Questionable Judgment and Trustworthiness:Senators from both parties raised concerns about her judgment and whether she could be trusted with the nation’s most sensitive secrets.Edward Snowden: During her confirmation hearing, she declined to explicitly call former NSA contractor Edward Snowden a traitor, which was a point of significant concern for some senators, including Republican Mitch McConnell.
  Allied Concerns: There were fears among some intelligence community insiders and U.S. allies that her appointment could lead to a slowdown in intelligence sharing, as other nations might be less willing to share sensitive information due to doubts about her handling of classified data and her perceived alignment with adversarial nations.
  Accusations of Spreading Conspiracy Theories:Lawmakers like Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), a former CIA officer, stated that Gabbard “traffics in conspiracy theories,” including a since-discredited claim about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine. 
  Despite these criticisms, her nomination was confirmed by the Senate in a 52-48 vote, largely along party lines. 
• 
  Criticisms of Tulsi Gabbard’s statements regarding 
  Russia
   and Syria
   largely focus on accusations that she parroted Russian propaganda and was overly sympathetic to Bashar al-Assad, raising concerns about her judgment and alignment with U.S. foreign policy interests. 
  
  Russia and Ukraine
  Blaming the U.S./NATO for the Invasion: At the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Gabbard stated that the war “could have easily been avoided” if the Biden administration and NATO had acknowledged Russia’s “legitimate security concerns” and guaranteed that Ukraine would not join NATO. Critics, including Republican Senator Mitt Romney, called this “parroting false Russian propaganda”.
  Biolabs Conspiracy Theory: Gabbard released a video in March 2022 where she expressed “deep concern” over “U.S.-funded biolabs” in Ukraine that she claimed could be breached and “release and spread deadly pathogens”. This closely mirrored a debunked Russian state media conspiracy theory about U.S. bioweapons labs, leading to accusations from lawmakers like Rep. Adam Kinzinger that her statements were “traitorous”.
  Characterization of the Conflict: She has repeatedly suggested the U.S. is fighting a proxy war to achieve “regime change in Russia” and has claimed Ukraine is not a democracy, positions that have been characterized by foreign policy experts as following the “Russian playbook”. 
  
  Syria and Bashar al-Assad
  Meeting with Assad: Her unannounced 2017 trip to Syria, during which she met with President Bashar al-Assad for several hours, generated significant bipartisan outrage. Critics argued she helped legitimize an accused war criminal responsible for gassing his own people and aligning herself with Russian and Syrian officials.
  Questioning U.S. Intelligence on Chemical Attacks: After Assad’s regime was accused of a chemical weapons attack in 2017, Gabbard publicly stated she was “skeptical” that his forces were responsible, despite findings from U.S. intelligence agencies. Critics viewed this as casting doubt on U.S. intelligence to align with the narratives promoted by Russia and Syria.
  Refusal to Condemn Assad: While she has called Assad a “brutal dictator,” in a 2019 interview she stated, “Assad is not the enemy of the United States because Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States,” a stance that was widely criticized as downplaying his atrocities. 

Tulsi Gabbard is the current 

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in the Trump administration, a position to which she was sworn in by Attorney General Pam Bondi in February 2025. 

Their professional relationship has been prominent in the news, particularly concerning the 2016 election and the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation:

• Appointments: Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who became an independent and then a Republican, was nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the Senate in a 52-48 vote in February 2025. Bondi has served as the U.S. Attorney General since the start of the second Trump administration.
• Investigations: In July 2025, as DNI, Gabbard declassified and released documents which she claimed proved a conspiracy within the Obama administration to undermine Trump’s 2016 campaign. She then issued a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, calling for an investigation into former President Barack Obama and his intelligence officials for “treason”.
• DOJ Action: Following Gabbard’s referral, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the formation of a Justice Department “strike force” to assess the evidence, and a grand jury investigation was reportedly launched into the matter. This has generated significant controversy, with critics arguing the Justice Department is being used for political ends. 
• 
  her criminal referral, Tulsi Gabbard claimed that former President Barack Obama and senior officials in his administration engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy” to deliberately 
  “manufacture” intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency. 
  The specific claims include:
  Manufacturing Intelligence: Gabbard alleged that Obama’s national security team deliberately created false intelligence to lay the groundwork for what she described as a “years-long coup” against President Trump.
  Politicizing the ICA: She claimed the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that concluded Russia interfered to benefit Trump was a “political hit job” ordered directly by President Obama and was subject to “unusual directives”.
  Burying Counter-Intelligence: Gabbard stated that the declassified documents she released showed the Obama administration actively suppressed or ignored intelligence assessments that indicated Russia did not successfully manipulate the actual vote count or interfere with election infrastructure.
  Orchestrating a Media Campaign: She accused Obama-era officials of leaking classified information to the media to promote the “contrived false narrative” that Russia hacked the election for Trump.
  Naming Officials: The referral named several officials as being involved in this alleged conspiracy, including former DNI James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former FBI Director James Comey. 
  Gabbard has argued that the goal of these actions was to “subvert the will of the American people” who elected Donald Trump in 2016. Critics, including former intelligence officials and a bipartisan Senate committee report, have stated that Gabbard is cherry-picking information, taking documents out of context, and that no new evidence has been introduced to support her claims.
