President-elect Trump is currently considering nominees to lead the nation's intelligence community, with former Hawaii House Democrat Tulsi Gabbard and former Utah Republican House Rep. Chris Stewart emerging as potential contenders for the director of national intelligence role.
Gabbard, a veteran and active duty Army reservist, previously served as a Democrat in the House before joining the Republican Party and supporting Trump in his recent presidential campaign. She is now a co-chair of the Trump transition team and has expressed interest in joining a Trump administration to address issues such as ending the influence of the military industrial complex and preventing World War III.
