GOP Defends Gabbard Amidst Democratic Allegations of Compromise

Republican senators are defending Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's nominee for director of national intelligence, against Democratic claims that she is compromised due to her past supportive comments about Russia and meetings with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Democrats, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, express concerns over Gabbard's judgment and potential impact on U.S. intelligence relations with allies. Republicans argue that the accusations are politically motivated, stemming from Gabbard's recent switch to the Republican Party and her alignment with Trump.
