Tulsi Gabbard faces Senate scrutiny over 2017 meeting with Assad

news.yahoo.com — November 25, 2024 at 12:01 PM UTC

Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by Trump for director of national intelligence, faces scrutiny over her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Senator James Lankford expressed the need for clarity on her visit and past comments regarding Syria and Russia. While some Republicans defend Gabbard, concerns persist about her ties to foreign governments. Senator Tammy Duckworth highlighted potential issues with her background, while Senator Eric Schmitt criticized claims that Gabbard is compromised as unfounded. Gabbard, a veteran and former Democratic congresswoman, switched to the Republican Party earlier this year. Trump praised her military service and bipartisan appeal, stating she will bring a strong spirit to the intelligence community.
