Concerns arise over Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as director of national intelligence

Donald Trump has nominated former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as his director of national intelligence. This decision has raised concerns among national security experts about her lack of experience in intelligence and her past support for authoritarian leaders. Jamie Metzl, a former official in the Clinton administration, highlighted that the role is critical for U.S. safety. He noted that Gabbard's background does not align with the qualifications needed for this position. Metzl expressed worries that Gabbard's views could hinder intelligence sharing with allied nations. He emphasized that her nomination is troubling, although he stated it is not the worst of Trump's nominations.
