Tulsi Gabbard resigns as Trump's top US intel official

Tulsi Gabbard stated on Friday she is resigning from her job as Head Donald Trump's director of national intel, saying her husband had been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and that she was stepping away from her role to help him.

Gabbard advised Trump of her intention to step down during an Oval Office session on Friday, Fox News Digital documented earlier. The resignation is effective June 30, it stated.

A source familiar with the matter stated that Gabbard had been forced out by the White House.

In her resignation letter posted on X, Gabbard informed Trump she was "deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intel for the last year and a half."

"I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming post," she stated.
