President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of national intelligence.

“I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength,” said Trump of Gabbard, who had previously been rumored to be considered for defense secretary and CIA director.

Gabbard, a veteran and active duty Army reservist, served in the House as a Democrat from 2013 to 2021, before joining the Republican Party and campaigning for Trump in his most recent race for president. She is now a co-chair of the Trump transition team.

Earlier this week, Trump tapped John Ratcliffe to lead the CIA.

The director of national intelligence leads an office that advises the president, National Security Council and Homeland Security Council on national security matters. Any nominee for the role must be confirmed by the Senate or appointed on an acting basis.

God1000:
Hmm, he's making major appointments and no single black man among them

ENEJI16:
Without assuming office he has stated making sensitive appointments. Yet it took a drug lord in aso rock 24 months to make a single appointment, yet they have failed woefully.

Firstloved:
Bidens institutions are being dismantled in real time!

Ninethmare:
Waiting for my own appointment

Christ4ever:
Well deserved for Tulsi. She stood for the truth against all odds.

I wish he brings back Kayleigh McEnany as WH Press secretary.






You woke Dem supporters always choose identity politics over competence.

Anyway relax, Ben Carson is coming back.
