Tulsi Gabbard has said she is resigning from her position as the US director of national intelligence in the Trump administration, citing her husband’s recent bone cancer diagnosis.
“His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge,” she wrote in her resignation letter obtained by CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. “I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position.”
President Donald Trump said in a social media post that Gabbard “has done an incredible job, and we will miss her”.
Her resignation is effective 30 June. Aaron Lukas, the principal deputy director, will step in as acting director, Trump said.
Gabbard, a loyal supporter of Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign, was confirmed as one of the most powerful figures in US intelligence-gathering weeks after he returned to the White House in 2025. As head of the intelligence community, Gabbard coordinates among multiple intelligence agencies and advises the president.
But this year she has largely been out of public view as the US has taken military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and notably removed Venezuela’s president.
In her letter Gabbard said her husband, Abraham, “faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months.”
Trump posted on social media that Gabbard “rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together. I have no doubt he will soon be better than ever.”

What about the bio-labs Tulsi? Surely you must release the details on those before you leave the regime.
The entire Trump system is falling apart.
Maybe she has a job lined up in the kremlin.
I can only wish Sir Mike, only wish. If it is, it’s too damn slow.
Interesting you mentioned that. She has retained her spitting hatred of Ukraine, as this article from Krasnov’s favourite magaputler site Hateway Pundit demonstrates:
Tulsi Gabbard Launches Investigation on 120 US-Funded Biolabs – Dozens Located in Ukraine
Apart from being a putinoid skank, she loves Iran and Venezuela, which puts her at odds with Krasnov.
The most evil director of national intelligence in history and the most evil VP in history : both appointed by Krasnov.
And another remake of a old classic :
“Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb putlerstan …..”
Sung by …… everyone!
Everything appears to be going in Ukraine’s direction lately, knock on wood…
What Ukraine needs now are real negotiators, not real estate agents. People like Kaja Kallas come to mind.
I don’t think we need negotiators. We need someone to kick the f**kers out of Ukraine.
Yes, or Dalia. Wouldn’t it be something to watch a woman set putler straight? Maybe Condoleeza would do it, lol.
Or Boris. 😊
Bingo!
Adam Kinzinger thinks Gabbardova was pressured out :
“However, we do want to flag some early reporting from Reuters. A source familiar with the matter tells the outlet that Gabbard was actually forced out by the White House due to her difference over the Iran War.”
Good riddance to bad rubbish and I previously like this woman too.
