Trump Appoints Tulsi Gabbard as New Intelligence Chief

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as his nominee for Director of National Intelligence, a move likely to spark a contentious confirmation process. Gabbard, who transitioned from a Democratic presidential candidate to a Trump supporter, has been known for her anti-interventionist foreign policy views and controversial stances on US adversaries. Her appointment reflects her alignment with Trump's "America First" ideology, despite her past criticisms of his patriotism. The role's influence varies, but Gabbard's nomination underscores her evolving political journey.
