2 hours ago The Front Page News

Tulsi Gabbard announced that she is resigning her post as the nation’s top intelligence official due to her husband’s rare bone cancer diagnosis.

Gabbard, a U.S. Army reserve officer and former political commentator, was the first American Samoa native elected to Congress, representing Hawaii from 2013 to 2021.

She took on the post after telling a Trump rally that the then-candidate would not start wars. Then after being sworn-in, her tenure became especially turbulent during the Iran war amid reports that intelligence community assessments of Tehran’s progress toward a nuclear weapon were at odds with Trump’s, undercutting his political justification for military action.
