Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump's director of national intelligence, is leaving the administration, Axios learned Friday.
The big picture: Gabbard's departure is not due to any controversies surrounding her work or job performance, but due to her husband being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, one senior Trump administration official and another source familiar told Axios.

Terrible situation. My heart and prayers go out to them, having just lost my wife to cancer 4 months ago.

Just lost my husband to cancer. Sometimes the treatment is what kills a person.

Poor woman. I wish them peace.
I think she did a decent job, just by the lack of news in what she was doing.

Sheesh. Sorry to hear but I wish she didn’t resign. No one with an ounce of integrity will get confirmed to this role for the remainder of the Presidency. The Senate is already terrible. Should have said go do what you gotta do any get back asap. Assign a backup until you return.

Prayers for both of them.
She’s our fighter, but, she will help her dear hubby fight, now.
God bless and keep them, both.

Considering HER prime directive (no more regime change wars), surprised it took this long. Probably don't agree with her on a lot of things...but I like Tulsi. She's a person from the left side of politics one can at least reason with...compared to the insane-class of usual morons.
Hope, beyond dealing with family medical issues, she stays in the public arena.
