Watch live: Tulsi Gabbard testifies at national intelligence director confirmation hearing
Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s pick to be director of national intelligence, is expected to face tough questions from lawmakers Thursday over past comments about Russia and a 2017 visit with Syria’s now-deposed leader.
Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, is a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard who deployed twice to the Middle East and ran for president in 2020. She has no formal intelligence experience, however, and has never run a government agency or department.
She’s been accused of spreading Russian disinformation by Republican lawmakers and has even won praise in Russian state-controlled media.
