"Gabbard was loyal, gave congressional testimony in a professional manner and never disputed the president. Firing Gabbard would needlessly create a damaging news cycle for Trump."

Tulsi Gabbard faced potential dismissal from her role as Director of National Intelligence after not endorsing the Iran war during congressional testimony. President Trump was frustrated by her stance and the resignation of Joe Kent, the former National Counterterrorism Director.

The White House affirmed Gabbard's value to the administration's national security team.
