Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing director of national intelligence, received a call on Tuesday from her successor, Bill Pulte, informing her that her last day would be that day, contrary to her announcement of leaving at the end of the month. Gabbard requested confirmation from President Trump, who later communicated that he did not require her immediate resignation and asked her what day would work best for her departure. Gabbard suggested June 19, which Trump later confirmed via a statement on his Truth Social account. Pulte's appointment has faced bipartisan criticism in Congress due to concerns regarding his qualifications and lack of intelligence experience. The call occurred during a meeting among Trump’s advisers aimed at addressing issues related to the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Pulte's promise to reduce staff at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was reportedly a factor in his selection. The situation has caused confusion within the White House and disrupted negotiations in Congress regarding FISA reauthorization.
