LIVE VIDEO: Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation Hearing

The Washington Post reports:

Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, goes before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday for what’s expected to be a contentious session focusing on her views on major foreign policy challenges, controversial statements on Russia and Syria, and her position on the delicate balance between government surveillance and civil liberties. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Eastern time.

Gabbard, a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, previously served as a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and ran for president as a Democrat in 2020. She switched parties and joined the GOP last year, ensconcing herself in Trump’s political movement. If confirmed, she would oversee all 18 U.S. spy agencies and, critically, manage the presidential daily brief, the daily summary of essential national security information presented to the commander in chief.
