The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic congresswoman turned Trump supporter, to serve as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence.
The Republican-led Senate voted to confirm Gabbard by a party-line vote of 52 to 48 after a handful of Republican skeptics said she had assuaged their earlier concerns about her views on the acquisition and protection of classified intelligence, and about her past conciliatory approach to U.S. adversaries.
Gabbard, who represented Hawaii for eight years in Congress, has a long track record of controversial views that put her at odds with the U.S. intelligence community. She drew tough questions from members of both parties during a tense confirmation hearing last month.
