  • The former officials, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, said they were "alarmed" by the choice of Gabbard to oversee all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies.

The article from the Mercury News, published on December 7, 2024, discusses the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump's nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence. Several former intelligence officials have called for closed-door Senate hearings to scrutinize Gabbard's suitability for the role, citing concerns over her past statements and actions that they believe could compromise national security. Critics point to her previous interactions with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, her skepticism towards U.S. intelligence assessments, and her perceived alignment with Russian interests. These officials argue that her appointment could undermine the integrity of the intelligence community, especially given the sensitive nature of the position which requires a high level of trust and bipartisan support. The Senate Intelligence Committee is reportedly considering these requests, highlighting the contentious nature of Gabbard's nomination.
