A GOP strategist slammed Trump's pick for national intelligence director and his recent performance at a confirmation hearing.

While speaking on a panel with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and senior legal analyst Elie Honig, GOP strategist Douglas Heye evaluated one of the comments made by Jay Clayton during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday.

When asked why former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard attended an FBI raid that seized voting records in Georgia, Clayton admitted that the question "just wasn't something that was on my mind before the preparation for this hearing."...

President Donald Trump received immediate backlash Tuesday over his pick to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – and just hours later, the nominee may already be in trouble after a GOP senator ousted by Trump last week voiced concerns, according to one Senate reporter.

Trump’s nominee was Bill Pulte, currently the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Pulte has no prior intelligence or national security experience, and his nomination was immediately scrutinized by liberal and conservative critics alike.

Pulte will need to be confirmed as National Intelligence director by the Senate, but according to NOTUS Senate reporter Igor Bobic, one GOP senator – Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who lost his primary election last week to his Trump-backed opponent — is already skeptical....

Before she even joined the Trump administration as Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard was set up to fail, an analyst reported on Tuesday.

Secret Pentagon memos that have now been made public show just what was happening behind the scenes in the years leading up to the second Trump administration, independent journalist Ken Klippenstein wrote in a Substack post published Tuesday.

Gabbard has cited her husband's cancer diagnosis as her reason for her pending departure — but there is more to it, Klippenstein explained. ...

Vice President JD Vance has been put in a tough position and has been considering whether he wants to run for president in 2028 or give up on the move, according to a new report from The Daily Mail published on Monday.

With National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard announcing her exit from the Trump administration last week, Vance could be in a more vulnerable position as his "most senior non-interventionist ally is gone." Vance, like Gabbard, had expressed skepticism and concerns about the Iran war behind closed doors, according to insiders.

"JD Vance, now the lone dove in Donald Trump's cabinet after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation, has been left more isolated than ever and is even considering abandoning a run for the presidency in 2028," sources told The Mail....

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's resignation could have been connected to the potential legal trouble she created for President Donald Trump, according to an analyst on Friday.

Legal analyst Scott MacFarlane, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch, told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur that Gabbard's presence at the January FBI raid on the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center caused legal problems for the Trump administration, Mediaite reported.

"Not only is there concern that Tulsi Gabbard was there when the feds raided Fulton County and took their 2020 ballots — that’s complicating the effort by the [Trump] administration to fend off a legal challenge from Fulton County trying to get their ballots back. Her presence there has been a problem, potentially legally, in the dispute over those ballots," MacFarlane said....

Four of President Donald Trump's cabinet members have left his administration over the last several months — and people noticed a similar pattern on Friday.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was the latest to exit, citing her husband's battle with a rare bone cancer. The move comes after months of rumors that Trump wanted her gone.

The internet spotted something similar to previous Trump administration officials ousted from their roles, including former Attorney General Pam Bondi, former Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem....
