Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. representative with limited intelligence experience, has been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The Senate voted 52-48 in favor of her appointment after Republicans rallied behind her despite concerns over her past statements, including support for Russia and controversial views on the U.S. intelligence community. Gabbard will now oversee the 18-agency intelligence sector and advise President Donald Trump on national security matters.
