The Free Press Journal|November 15, 2024
US President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Hindu American Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, to his cabinet as the Director of National Intelligence.

The Director of National Intelligence coordinates the work of 18 agencies; the director prepares the daily intelligence briefing for the President, giving an overview of the global situation, and serves as an early warning system for emerging dangers.

"Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our intelligence community, championing our constitutional rights, and securing peace through strength," Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday while announcing his pick for the post.

"For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our country and the freedoms of all Americans," Trump said referring to her stint as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Iraq War.
