Gabbard’s 2017 trip to Syria, where she met with authoritarian leader Bashar al-Assad, is expected to be a focus of questions from senators weighing her nomination to be director of national intelligence.

Sen. John Barrasso that the confirmation hearing for Tulsi Gabbard is being held up by "a paperwork problem" with the Office of Government Ethics.

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) says he’ll vote yes for President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, after she changed her stance on Section 702, an intelligence surveillance tool she previously voted against while in Congress.
