National security officials from Trump's first term question Tulsi Gabbard pick

Several senior national security officials from President-elect Donald Trump’s first administration have questioned his decision to nominate Tulsi Gabbard to lead the intelligence community due to her global views.

Gabbard, a Hawaii native and U.S. Army veteran who previously served in the House of Representatives as a Democrat, has no previous experience in the intelligence community. She did, however, endorse Trump and campaign for him in the lead-up to the election. The former president has emphasized the significance of loyalty in his Cabinet selections.
