Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, U.S. President Donald Trump's nominee to be director of national intelligence, prepares to leave following a Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., January 30, 2025. REU
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation as director of national intelligence, one of President Donald Trump's most contentious nominations, moved closer to reality on Tuesday when a Senate committee backed her despite doubts about her lack of experience and past statements seen as supporting U.S. adversaries.
Senator Tom Cotton, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters the panel had voted to report Gabbard's nomination favorably to the full Senate.
