Dec 5, 2024, 02:51 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, a choice that has sparked controversy due to her reported consumption of Russian state media. Several of Gabbard's former aides have expressed concerns about her regular reading and sharing of articles from RT (Russia Today), a news outlet that the U.S. intelligence community has identified as a Kremlin propaganda source.

Gabbard, who has combat experience and served on the House Armed Services Committee, is expected to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss her nomination.
