https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/22/tulsi-gabbard-resigns-intelligence-trump-husband.html Tulsi Gabbard is resigning as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, becoming the latest Cabinet official to leave his administration, she announced Friday.
Gabbard, in a resignation letter addressed to Trump, said she has to step down in order to support her husband, Abraham Williams, who has “recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”
“I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position,” she wrote in the letter dated Friday.
Her resignation is effective June 30, she wrote.
Trump confirmed later Friday that Gabbard was “unfortunately” departing, writing in a Truth Social post that she has “done an incredible job, and we will miss her.”
Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lukas will take over from Gabbard in an acting capacity, Trump wrote in the post.
Fox News first reported Gabbard’s resignation.
Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii who fell out with her party and later joined the GOP, was confirmed as national intelligence chief less than a month after Trump’s second term began. As DNI, she led the U.S. intelligence community, a sprawling coalition of 18 agencies and organizations.

I genuinely do not understand how people keep betraying everything they claim to stand for to try to gain favor with Trump and get a spot in his administration as a stepping stone for their political ambitions.

>>1516255 She's stepping down because her husband has cancer. Why are you making it into anything more than that?
Anonymous
>>1516256 Because this administration is full of opportunistic, sociopathic monsters who lie about absolutely everything and I would not put it past them to use her husband getting diagnosed with cancer as an excuse to kick her out because she isn't enthusiastic enough about the retarded war with Iran they started.

Reminder that she only got fired because she refused to lie about Iran being a threat for trump and can say 'i told you so' given trump already lost the Iran War.

>>1516332 She went along with the Iran lie just the same as everyone else in the administration
The only slight pushback she gave was being forced to agree under oath that Iran isn't actively trying to build a nuke again
Of course, that was probably enough for Trump do want her out. But it still wasn't any sort of principled stance.

>>1516343 Well, they are a Russian ally, Ivan, so I see why you'f complain about warring with them.
Russia's probably butthurt over Venezuela being kneecapped. And hopefully Cuba is next.
So, my friend from St. Petersburg, your foreign protesting won't save your Iranian friends.
