Trump Appoints Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence Amid Controversy

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and current Republican, as the director of national intelligence. Gabbard, known for her antiwar stance and criticism of U.S. military interventions, has been a controversial figure due to her perceived sympathies towards Russia. Her nomination has raised concerns among some intelligence officials and politicians, though she has support from GOP members. Gabbard's appointment is seen as unconventional due to her limited intelligence experience and past foreign policy views.
