British security chiefs are alarmed at Donald Trump’s choice for the most senior intelligence role in America and hope she is blocked, The Telegraph can reveal.
Tulsi Gabbard is facing intense scrutiny over her perceived support for Russia and Syria as she seeks to become the US director of national intelligence, an appointment that needs US Senate approval.
The Telegraph understands that there is also deep disquiet at senior levels of the UK security services over the prospect of her appointment, which would give her access to the most sensitive secret intelligence.
After being grilled by the Senate intelligence committee last week, the committee is set to vote on her appointment in a private session on Tuesday. Her confirmation will then go before the full Senate for approval, which will likely happen next week.
The confirmation presents another diplomatic challenge for Mr Trump as he engages in a trade war with China. A call between Mr Trump and Xi Jinping was cancelled after Beijing retaliated against tariffs imposed by the US.
In the past, Gabbard pointed blame towards Ukraine hours after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 and cast doubt over Syrian chemical weapons use after meeting dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Gabbard appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee for her confirmation hearing last week – John McDonnell/AP One senior security figure has expressed hope that Gabbard’s appointment will be blocked by the Senate, which is Republican-held and can vote down her nomination.
Another figure with clearance to access British intelligence told The Telegraph: “She is completely unfit for the role.”
The source added: “The main concerns are on Russia. She comes over as an apologist. One thing we need at the moment is a united front.”
It is unlikely that the UK would withhold intelligence through the “Five Eyes” partnership...

Brainwashed, too, I see.
Four authors. Four times the gaslight.
I thought we made it clear back around 1776 or so that we don’t really GAF what the Brits think.
Perhaps it’s time to reinforce that lesson.

Amazing it takes so many authors to gaslight!
The UK is no friend of ours.
Shut up, boys. We don’t care what you think. Go arrest someone for a thought crime or something
The Telegraph needs FOUR Brit fags to come out and fulminate against The Tulsi.
Eff those effing pillow-biters.
“perceived support for Russia and Syria “
British security security services helped create the false Russiagate Dossier for Hillary’s campaign so they better stfu.
The Brits are trying very hard to give their country to the moslems. I thought they were smarter and tougher. Guess the Churchill/Thacher days are over. Bloody shame that.
It took four of these scum suckers to write this crap.
Never forget this. Who knows, maybe the current chief is actually the one involved in the creation of the fake dossier.

My gauge is now proudly featured on my FR Profile Page.
If you suspect that to be true, then the President knows the score. There’s arm twisting going on and DJT is the twister. I think he’ll get what he wants. DOGE knows who all had there hands in the USAID’s cookie jar. It wasn’t all Dems. Notice how quiet Lady Lindsey has been lately. The Turtle ain’t talking either. We have to wait and see. In the meantime my Popcorn & Beer budget is taking a beotch of a hit. Regards.
Sweet!
A former MI6 guy said that he believed Russian hookers peed on a bed under orders from Pres. Trump….
Confirm Tulsi, RFK Jr, Patel. Then they'll be off the hook.
The single most important aspect of DNI is that it manages NRO.
Gabbard’s job is to review briefings before they are presented to Congress and the president. With NRO about to become dominant, of course the British will object. The last thing they want in the world of intelligence is objectivity.
That’s what satellite imagery provides.
