Tulsi Gabbard Named as Trump's Intelligence Chief Pick

Donald Trump's pick for US intelligence chief has been accused by Ukraine of being on the Kremlin's payroll. Tulsi Gabbard would oversee US intelligence agencies including the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency, and would require Senate confirmation to take up the role. During her time as a Democrat representing Hawaii's 2nd district in the House of Representatives, Tulsi Gabbard also travelled to Syria on a 'fact-finding mission' and met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose regime is backed by Iran and Russia and is accused of killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.
