The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday voted to favorably report the nomination of former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence.
Gabbard advanced in a 9-8 party-line vote.
“We look forward to her confirmation and working with her to keep America safe,” Senate Intelligence Chairman Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told reporters after announcing the results of the vote, which was held in a closed meeting.
