https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/22/tulsi-gabbard-resigns-intelligence-trump-husband.htmlTulsi Gabbard is resigning as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, becoming the latest Cabinet official to leave his administration, she announced Friday.Gabbard, in a resignation letter addressed to Trump, said she has to step down in order to support her husband, Abraham Williams, who has “recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”“I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position,” she wrote in the letter dated Friday.Her resignation is effective June 30, she wrote.Trump confirmed later Friday that Gabbard was “unfortunately” departing, writing in a Truth Social post that she has “done an incredible job, and we will miss her.”Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lukas will take over from Gabbard in an acting capacity, Trump wrote in the post.Fox News first reported Gabbard’s resignation.Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii who fell out with her party and later joined the GOP, was confirmed as national intelligence chief less than a month after Trump’s second term began. As DNI, she led the U.S. intelligence community, a sprawling coalition of 18 agencies and organizations.
Her tenure was marked by reports of behind-the-scenes clashes with Trump and other administration officials — which sometimes appeared to spill out in the open.Gabbard, a veteran who was deployed to the Middle East, had endorsed Trump in 2024 on anti-interventionist grounds, praising him as a peace-seeker while condemning Democratic former President Joe Biden over the conflicts that began during his term.As Trump pursued striking Iran to cripple its nuclear capabilities last summer, Gabbard released an unusual video warning about “warmongers carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.”The video incensed Trump, Politico reported at the time. Asked later that month about Gabbard’s prior Senate testimony that Iran wasn’t trying to build a nuclear bomb, Trump replied, “I don’t care what she said,” and later said, “She’s wrong.”Gabbard also drew scrutiny for appearing at an FBI raid on a Georgia election office in late January that resulted in the seizure of 2020 election records. Trump for years has falsely asserted that the 2020 race, which he lost to Biden, was rigged against him.Gabbard’s resignation announcement expands the list of top Trump administration officials who have left or been fired so far this year.Just over a month earlier, Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned as Secretary of Labor in order to take an unspecified job in the private sector.Earlier in April, Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, who faced pressure over her handling of matters related to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She was replaced in an acting capacity by Todd Blanche, her deputy and Trump’s former personal defense attorney.In March, Trump ousted Kristi Noem, who led the Department of Homeland Security, following national controversies related to her handling of aggressive immigration enforcement policies in U.S. cities.

>>1516241your retardation is noteworthy.
Couldn't be happening to a more deserving opportunistic, power hungry sociopath devoid of all morals or principles
>>1516244you smell of very bloody bad saar
>>1516245>Couldn't be happeningGo practice your English for a few more years before you start talking about American politics, Ravi.
>>1516247explain what you think is wrong with that sentence, esl shill. we're all waiting
>>1516248You out yourself as an ESL, ESL
>>1516247I don't know if I've ever seen a shill self own this badly on this board before
>>1516252Do you and your fellow jeet troons have a discord?
>>1516253no, esl shill, we're laughing at how discordant your control of the english language is though
I genuinely do not understand how people keep betraying everything they claim to stand for to try to gain favor with Trump and get a spot in his administration as a stepping stone for their political ambitions.It never works. Ever. The Trump administration is where political careers go to die.And yet, people still do it.
>>1516255She's stepping down because her husband has cancer. Why are you making it into anything more than that?
>>1516256Because this administration is full of opportunistic, sociopathic monsters who lie about absolutely everything and I would not put it past them to use her husband getting diagnosed with cancer as an excuse to kick her out because she isn't enthusiastic enough about the retarded war with Iran they started.
Isn't she the one that is blatantly working for Russia? Bitch probably wants her ticket out before someone competent gets in charge and executes her for treason.
>>1516259Go to the doctor for your psychosis
>>1516262Great comeback
Reminder that she only got fired because she refused to lie about Iran being a threat for trump and can say 'i told you so' given trump already lost the Iran War.
>>1516332She went along with the Iran lie just the same as everyone else in the administrationThe only slight pushback she gave was being forced to agree under oath that Iran isn't actively trying to build a nuke againOf course, that was probably enough for Trump do want her out. But it still wasn't any sort of principled stance.
>>1516338>Iran would tell us if they were building nukes.
>>1516339>We've got to go to war with the Middle East because of unknown unknownsIt's 2002 all over again
>>1516343Well, they are a Russian ally, Ivan, so I see why you'f complain about warring with them.Russia's probably butthurt over Venezuela being kneecapped. And hopefully Cuba is next.So, my friend from St. Petersburg, your foreign protesting won't save your Iranian friends.
>>1516345nice try esl shill
>>1516346If you spoke English, you'd probably have more than 3 scripted responses, Ivan.
esl shill is projecting again
>>1516348And the last item in the script is?
>>1516349it's pretty sad how you've normalized your life being a farce
>>1516343>Even the isolationist Republicans waste trillions of dollars and American lives in wars they lose in the middle east.Remember when the fascist right tried to pretend neo cons were democrats and not themselves?
>>1516345Do you even remember a year ago when you were claiming to be the anti-war movement?Or does the previous programming actually get deleted with each update?
>>1516355I appreciate you asking questions, but if these people understood causal relationships they wouldn't be right wing lunatics.
>>1516352>neo cons were democratsNeocons are trotskyists. Not democrats.
>>1516363Neo Cons are conservatives
>>1516363neocons are the political version of boomers who used to be hippies. just because a boomer used to be open minded doesn't mean he still is
>>1516365Nope.
>>1516367what does the con in neocon stand for, esl shill? we'll all wait
>>1516368New conservative,>It began in the United States during the 1970s among liberal hawks who became disenchanted with the Democratic Party along with the growing New Left and 1960s counterculture.>Critics of neoconservatism have used the term to describe foreign policy war hawks who support aggressive militarism or neocolonialism. Historically speaking, the term neoconservative refers to a group of Trotskyist academics from New York who moved from the anti-Stalinist left via wikishit:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeoconservatismThere you go esl shill. If you'd put more effort into learning English you'd know these things.
>>1516375so it stands for conservative. thanks for playing esl shill, you lose again
>>1516259I don’t put it past them giving him cancer.
>>1516229Loyalty to fascism is never rewarded, it is consumed. It’s followers are used until they are no longer useful and then discarded without exception. It will always end like this.
>>1516410Her husband has cancer, which is why she is quitting.
>>1516467how much do you get paid for this gig, though? is it really pennies
>>1516468>how much do you get paid to read the news and talk about the news on /news/? Nothing.

>>1516476So by your own standard you are pathetic?
>>1516478you might want to stop comparing us and start getting a real job. this is just sad
She was confirmed as national intelligence chief.tRump didn't like this title as he considered himself the chief intelligence of Washington now. but it's been rumor that he still referred to her as "chief" because of her native blood
>>1516467I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
