Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (DNI) was baffled by how special counsels run by Robert Mueller and John Durham missed evidence of what she alleged was a “years-long coup against President Trump.

The U.S. spy chief, who built her political identity opposing military intervention, is falling in line after the bombing of Iran.

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, is at the center of a heated exchange with President Donald Trump regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The heated mix of political rhetoric and military considerations has ignited new debates on the nation’s intelligence assessments and foreign policy direction.

President Donald Trump said Iran was "weeks away" from having a nuclear bomb. Iran was close to having bomb-grade uranium, but experts predicted it could have taken anywhere from months to two years for Iran to have a launch-ready bomb.

Trump’s stance, bolstered by a May 31 International Atomic Energy Agency report (that stated Iran had accumulated roughly 120 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, dangerously close to weapons-grade levels of 90%), undermines previous reports by U.S. intelligence, including that of Gabbard, a former Democrat.

Connecticut Sen. Murphy said Tulsi Gabbard was excluded from an Iran briefing for disputing claims the strike destroyed its nuclear program.

Gabbard said the “tactics" of the "deep state” must be exposed to ensure similar actions are not taken in the future.

President Trump has publicly contradicted DNI Tulsi Gabbard amid reports suggesting Gabbard's influence within Trump's administration is declining.
