The turbulent 15 months of Trump’s unlikely US intelligence director | Trump administration
Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democrat and former Hawaii representative, resigned as director of national intelligence on Friday. Her tenure was marked by tension with President Donald Trump, who often excluded her from key conversations and publicly questioned her intelligence assessments. Despite efforts to streamline the agency, Gabbard's relationship with the president deteriorated over time, culminating in a public disagreement about Iran and a perceived partisan approach to her role. Following Gabbard's resignation, Aaron Lukas will serve as acting director until June 30th.
