She was sworn in at the White House later that evening.
The Senate confirmed President Trump’s nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, as the Director of National Intelligence Wednesday evening after the vote was delayed by the weather. The new DNI, who is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve, was formerly a congresswoman from Hawaii. She switched parties a couple of years ago as she disagreed with policies from President Biden’s administration.
DNI Gabbard, who was later sworn in at the White House, stated, “Unfortunately, the American people have very little trust in the intelligence community, largely because they’ve seen the weaponization and politicization of an entity that is supposed to be purely focused on ensuring our national security.” She committed to refocusing the intelligence community.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For DNI Gabbard to seek God’s direction as she oversees U.S. intelligence and advises the president.
- For the president and his Cabinet members as they work to implement policies and update programs.
