Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be Director of National Intelligence, is walking back a previous position she held about an federal government program that authorizes targeted collection of foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. persons located abroad.
