What was the reason for the resignation of the US Director of National Intelligence?

GD&TĐ - US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has submitted her resignation, which has been accepted by US President Donald Trump.

"I regret to inform you that I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026," U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump.

“My husband, Abraham, was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. I am currently taking a break from my official duties to be by his side and fully support him in this fight,” she wrote in the letter.

President Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform that Gabbard would be replaced by the current Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas.

"Tulsi Gabbard did a wonderful job, and we will miss her," the president added.

Gabbard, a former Democrat who left the party, condemned the party's leaders as "elitist warmongers" and anti-white racists in 2022.

Gabbard endorsed President Trump in 2024, stating that only he could "get us back from the brink of war."

Before supporting Trump, Gabbard was a strong opponent of war with Iran and a frequent critic of U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Less than two weeks before news of her resignation was announced, Gabbard told the New York Post that she was investigating more than 120 U.S.-funded bioethics labs worldwide , including more than 40 in Ukraine.

Gabbard said her team would determine whether these laboratories were involved in "dangerous functional enhancement research"—that is, modifying viruses to make them more dangerous or more contagious.
