President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman actively serving as an Army Reserve officer, to be his director of national intelligence (DNI).

The DNI is a Cabinet-level position, established in 2004, responsible for overseeing the U.S. government’s intelligence-gathering efforts. If confirmed, the role would require Gabbard to coordinate both information-gathering and interagency cooperation between the various U.S. intelligence and national security components.
