Trump Names Gabbard’s Replacement After She Resigns As DNI

The departure marks a major change inside the administration’s intelligence leadership

According to Fox News Digital, Gabbard informed Trump of her decision during a Friday Oval Office meeting.

However, the circumstances surrounding her exit appear to be more complicated.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that Gabbard was forced out by the White House, though Trump’s public comments framed the departure as entirely family related

Trump publicly praised Gabbard again Friday while emphasizing the seriousness of her husband’s condition.

The president’s announcement comes after occasional signs of tension between the two over foreign policy.
