Republican Senators Seek Trump Nominee Gabbard's FBI File Amid DNI Controversy
Nov 24, 2024, 06:50 PM
Republican Senators are seeking access to Tulsi Gabbard's FBI file, particularly any records of her foreign contacts, amid concerns about her potential appointment as Director of National Intelligence. This follows criticism from Democrats who claim that Gabbard, President Trump's nominee, is 'compromised' due to her pro-Russia stance, her previous interactions with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, and her secret meetings with foreign leaders. Critics argue that her history of defending Russian President Vladimir Putin, opposing sanctions on Russia, and spreading Russian propaganda make her unfit for the role. CNN reports that if confirmed, Gabbard would be the most anti-surveillance official to ever lead the U.S. intelligence community. Despite these allegations, Republicans have pushed back against these claims, defending Gabbard's nomination. An expert has stated that her views are 'so wildly fringe that her potential appointment as DNI is genuinely alarming.'
