YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tulsi Gabbard announced that she is resigning her post as the nation's top intelligence official due to her husband’s rare bone cancer diagnosis.

Gabbard, a U.S. Army reserve officer and former political commentator, was the first American Samoa native elected to Congress, representing Hawaii from 2013 to 2021.

She took on the post after telling a Trump rally that the then-candidate would not start wars. Then after being sworn-in, her tenure became especially turbulent during the Iran war amid reports that intelligence community assessments of Tehran’s progress toward a nuclear weapon were at odds with Trump’s, undercutting his political justification for military action.
