Gabbard Deflects when Asked on Capitol Hill About Intelligence She’d Offered Trump Before Iran War
Democratic senators pressed Gabbard on intelligence shared before the Iran conflict, including warnings of regional attacks and Strait of Hormuz closure risks.
- At the annual worldwide threats hearings, senators pressed Tulsi Gabbard on her intelligence briefings, with Sen. Mark Warner saying 'If you want to ask questions, you should have stayed in Congress.'
- Reporting says outdated intelligence likely led to a U.S. missile striking an elementary school in Iran that killed more than 165 people, and the White House says the incident is under investigation.
- Gabbard was pressed about her presence at an FBI search of a Fulton County election hub, where she said she was there 'at the request of the president' and did not participate.
- Gabbard defended her handling of intelligence, saying 'I have not and won't divulge internal conversations', while the former acting DNI Ratcliffe said 'The intelligence reflects the contrary'.
- Broader security trends include recent domestic incidents in Texas, New York, Virginia, and Michigan, while President Trump urged allies to safeguard the region's waterway.
