Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fully intends to remain in her position despite rumors that she is planning to resign from President Donald Trump's administration in protest of the Iran war.

She advocated that President Trump fire Gabbard before she could resign. But a senior administration official told the Daily Mail that Loomer’s claim was ‘total bull****.’ A spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence also pushed back against the online rumors....

Kent notably said that “Iran posed no imminent threat” in his letter to the president.“I read his statement. I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security. I didn’t know him well,”...

WASHINGTON — When President Donald Trump watched a live feed of the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not in the room. Just two days earlier, she had posted photos of herself on a beach in Hawaii at sunset practicing yoga, sending out a new year’s greeting for “peace.”That she appeared to be on vacation in the run-up to such a high-stakes, ultra-sensitive military operation seemed to underscore the extent to which she has been sidelined by the administration.But there she was on Wednesday, at an election center in...

Denmark’s foreign minister had the top U.S. diplomat in the country summoned for talks after the main national broadcaster reported Wednesday that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland. Trump has repeatedly said he seeks U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland, a vast, semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. He has not ruled out military force to take control of the mineral-rich, strategically located Arctic island. Denmark, a NATO ally of the U.S., and Greenland have said the island is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was reportedly in the dark about the Trump administration’s plan to invade Venezuela and depose President Nicolas Maduro. Bloomberg reported on Thursday that the White House excluded the nation’s top intelligence from discussions about the planned ouster, which was carried out on Saturday. People familiar with the situation said that Gabbard had previously opposed U.S. intervention in the South American country. “The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela,” Gabbard, then a Democratic member of Congress, tweeted in 2019. “Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We don’t want other countries to choose...

...The Wall Street Journal wrote the hit piece against DNI Tulsi Gabbard, sourced to two “people familiar with the matter,” and “three other people with knowledge of the situation.” They all needed to coordinate with the WSJ. Think about it. The substance of the story is that among the 37 current and former Intelligence Community officials Tulsi Gabbard recently stripped of their security clearances, was an “undercover CIA agent” located within one of those agencies..

We’ve grown accustomed to corporate media lying to us. It’s the lazy lies that are perhaps most galling. The Wall Street Journal’s recent overheated piece on the Trump administration’s public revocation of an “undercover” senior CIA officer is ridiculously lazy. The CIA spook in question is a very overt member of the intelligence community. Just Google the name Julia Gurganus. ‘Zero Concerns’ Wall Street Journal national security reporter Brett Forrest on Wednesday reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s naming of Gurganus on a list of 37 current and former officials stripped of their national security clearances has “alarmed...

Democrat commentator Julian Epstein said on Fox Business Wednesday that its leaders are driving themselves into political ruin by embracing fringe ideas that alienate voters. With a sinking approval rating after their 2024 losses, Democrats scrambled to rebrand, as some conceded their message sounds more like a lecture than a campaign pitch. Appearing on “The Evening Edit,” Epstein said the party’s collapse stems from its fixation on cultural and ideological battles pushed by academic elites and activist groups. “The Democratic Party is in the dumps. Every single indicator, whether it’s fundraising, party registration or ID, whether it is all of...
