Tulsi Gabbard announced her resignation as the United States Director of National Intelligence, effective June 30, 2026, citing her husband’s serious health condition as the reason for stepping away from public service. Her departure marks the fourth Cabinet exit in President Trump’s second term.

    1. Her wonderful husband, Abraham, has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, and she, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together.
    2. Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her.
    3. Unfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the Administration on June 30th​.
    1. Abraham has been my rock throughout our eleven years of marriage — standing steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a Joint Special Operations mission, multiple political campaigns and now my service in this role.
    2. While we have made significant progress … I recognize there is still important work to be done.
    3. While we have made significant progress at the ODNI — advancing unprecedented transparency and restoring integrity to the intelligence community — I recognize there is still important work to be done.
    4. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026.
    5. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.
    1. We must ensure that her tenure – marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country – represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.
    2. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the [Intelligence Community] to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more.
    1. The next DNI must be committed to restoring trust in the office, protecting the integrity of our intelligence, and ensuring our nation's intelligence professionals can speak truth to power, without fear or interference.
    1. It has been a bad 15 months for the 'deep state' with Tulsi Gabbard in charge.
    1. I hope that once she leaves Trump's service, she'll speak out about how the US was misled into yet another unnecessary conflict.
    2. Tulsi Gabbard ran for president, campaigning against regime change wars, and ended up serving in an administration that launched the stupidest one yet against Iran.
