Intelligence community insiders warn against Tulsi Gabbard as DNI: ‘Serious red flags’

A group of nearly 100 former senior intelligence and national security officials sent a letter to Senate leaders, writing that they are “alarmed” by President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to become national intelligence director and urged senators to “carefully scrutinize” her nomination.

The officials who served in both Republican and Democratic administrations said Gabbard’s past actions “call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings to the President, Congress, and the entire national security apparatus.”
