Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has officially submitted her resignation from the Trump administration to support her husband during a serious health crisis. She announced the departure on Friday via social media, stating that her final day leading the intelligence community will be June 30.
Gabbard explained that her husband, Abraham, recently received a diagnosis of an extremely rare form of bone cancer. Because he faces major medical challenges in the coming weeks and months, she felt compelled to step away from public service entirely.
In her public statement and formal letter, Gabbard expressed deep gratitude to President Donald Trump for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. She thanked the president for the trust he placed in her over the past year and a half.
