Tulsi Gabbard, who served as the US Director of National Intelligence, announced her resignation effective June 30, citing her husband's recent diagnosis of an extremely rare form of bone cancer. In her resignation letter shared on social media, Gabbard expressed her desire to support her husband, Abraham, during this challenging time. President Donald Trump publicly thanked her for her contributions and appointed Aaron Lukas as the interim Director of National Intelligence. Gabbard's resignation comes amid reports suggesting that her departure was influenced by internal tensions within the Trump administration, particularly following the president's controversial military strike against Iran. This decision reportedly created divisions among officials, including Gabbard, who had previously expressed reservations about the military actions. During a congressional hearing in March, she raised concerns about the implications of the conflict and highlighted the lack of evidence regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities post-strike, which contradicted Trump's assertions about the necessity of the military actions. Gabbard's departure marks a significant moment in the Trump administration's national security landscape.
