Tulsi Gabbard, who has never worked in the intelligence world, has denied accusations that she promoted Kremlin disinformation.

Summary

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, faces backlash over claims she promoted Russian disinformation, though she denies these accusations.

With no intelligence experience, Gabbard has previously clashed with U.S. officials over foreign policy, including controversial stances on Syria’s Assad and Ukraine.

In 2022, she was accused of echoing Russian propaganda by sharing unverified claims about U.S.-funded labs in Ukraine, which she insists were misinterpreted.

Critics, including Rep. Abigail Spanberger, argue her nomination raises serious national security concerns.
