Tulsi Gabbard's PACs raise questions about fundraising and transparency in intelligence nomination
Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for Director of National Intelligence, has multiple political action committees (PACs). This is unusual, as most politicians typically have one. Critics suggest this may complicate transparency regarding her fundraising. Gabbard's PACs have raised significant funds, but only a small portion has gone to political candidates. Most of the money has been spent on operating expenses and fundraising efforts, raising questions about the actual use of the funds. Concerns have been raised about Gabbard's past political positions and her ability to oversee the U.S. Intelligence Community fairly. Her nomination is expected to face scrutiny during Senate confirmation hearings.
