Tulsi Gabbard has officially resigned from her position as the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, effective June 30, 2026. In a heartfelt letter shared on social media, Gabbard expressed her deep gratitude to President Donald Trump for the trust he placed in her over the last year and a half. The resignation comes in light of her husband, Abraham's, recent diagnosis with a rare form of bone cancer, which she cited as the primary reason for her decision. Gabbard emphasized the importance of being by her husband's side during this challenging time, stating, "I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position." Despite her departure, she noted that significant progress had been made at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, including advancements in transparency and integrity within the intelligence community. Gabbard committed to facilitating a smooth transition to ensure that the Trump administration experiences no disruptions in leadership or momentum. She concluded her letter by thanking Trump for his understanding during this personal and difficult time.
