Trump Backs Gabbard Amid Iran Crisis

0:00On April 3rd, President Trump is standing firm behind his pick for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, even as the war in Iran heats up. Sources say he wants her right where she is, despite rivals pushing for her ouster over questions about her loyalty to the fight that kicked off last month. Earlier this week, Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, and just weeks before that he removed Christy Nome from heading the department of Homeland Security. There was talk from Bondi's allies about sliding her into Gabbard's spot, but the President shut that down quick. White House folks are firing back hard at rumors. Trump has lost faith in her, calling it straight fake news. They point out how the DC crowd, especially at the CIA, has it out for Gabbard because she's calling out their deceptions. According to officials, Gabbard's been a fixture at the White House since the conflict started, showing up for late-night addresses on Iran, on getting props from Trump himself. He even said she's got a different mindset than him, but that doesn't mean she can deliver.
