Summary

Republican senators are privately pushing to review Tulsi Gabbard’s FBI file amid concerns about her alignment with Russian interests following her nomination as Trump’s director of national intelligence.

Gabbard’s past support for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. state secrets, has drawn particular scrutiny, as has her history of echoing Russian talking points on Ukraine and Syria.

While GOP senators are publicly deferring to Trump’s pick, some, including Sens. Mike Rounds and Susan Collins, emphasize the importance of full background checks and hearings to address potential security risks.

    Yeah, Republicans WOULD be upset about her only correct stance, even if it’s a past one 🤦

      face it man, Snowden is a Russian asset at this point.

      he didn’t start out that way be given the options of tea, window, or sabotage he chose sabotage.
