Dozens of top former intelligence officials are urging members of the Senate to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, citing her potential to address the politicization within intelligence agencies. Former officials including Robert O’Brien, Ric Grenell, and Erik Prince have expressed their support for Gabbard in a letter to Senate Intelligence Committee leaders.
In the letter addressed to Chairman Tom Cotton and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, the former officials emphasized Gabbard's ability to counteract the politicization that has negatively impacted intelligence operations. They believe her appointment as DNI would contribute to safeguarding the freedom and security of the United States and its citizens.
