Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's nominee for director of national intelligence, faces scrutiny over her critical views on regime change wars and intelligence abuses. At her confirmation hearing, senators are expected to question her stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and her inconsistent condemnation of Bashar al-Assad. Gabbard's previous support for Edward Snowden and Julian Assange may also land her in hot water, particularly among Republican lawmakers. Her alignment with Kremlin narratives and concerns about U.S. foreign policy are central themes in her upcoming defense.
On Thursday she will be defending those comments. At her confirmation hearing, senators are likely to zero in on her sympathy toward Russian President Vladimir V. Putin's arguments for waging war in Ukraine.
Her failure to strongly and consistently condemn Bashar al-Assad, Syria's now-deposed dictator, is likely to be another line of questioning.
