The Hollow Victory of Tulsi Gabbard's Tenure as Intelligence Chief Tulsi Gabbard's departure from her post as Director of National Intelligence marks a significant loss for President Trump, but also underscores a deeper problem: the erosion of trust between the intelligence community and the White House.
Her resignation is a bitter pill to swallow for those who had hoped that her appointment would signal a new era of cooperation and expertise in national security decision making.
Gabbard's tenure was marked by awkward exchanges with lawmakers over Iran policy, where she repeatedly dodged questions about whether the Trump administration had been warned of potential fallout from its actions.
