Director of National Intelligence: Tulsi Gabbard's Role Under Trump

Showing 9 Director of National Intelligence videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

The Director of National Intelligence role centers on Tulsi Gabbard's tenure under the Trump administration, both as a policy figure and, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, as someone who spoke publicly about his death. Gabbard delivered tributes describing Kirk as a friend who modeled civil disagreement on college campuses, and separately released declassified findings from a House Intelligence Committee report alleging that the Obama administration knowingly relied on discredited sources, including the Steele dossier, to produce the January 2017 intelligence assessment claiming Russia helped elect Donald Trump. She argued that intelligence officials at the time understood Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to influence the outcome, and that this assessment set off years of investigations and impeachments built on a conclusion officials knew was false. David Sacks, discussing Gabbard's DNI confirmation with Kirk, argued that her appointment served as a check against unnecessary foreign military interventions and dismissed accusations that she was a "Russian asset" as a repeat of the same discredited playbook used against Trump during the original Russiagate investigation. Meghan McCain, a close friend of Gabbard's, separately described her confirmation as symbolically important to a new coalition of Republican-leaning women voters.
