Republicans Defend Gabbard Amidst 'Compromised' Allegations

Republican senators are defending Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. intelligence chief, against Democratic claims that she is "compromised" due to her past interactions with Russia and Syria. Democrats, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, express concerns over Gabbard's judgment and potential impact on U.S. intelligence relations. Republicans argue the criticism is politically motivated, stemming from Gabbard's switch to the Republican Party and her support for Trump. The debate highlights divisions over Gabbard's suitability for the intelligence role.
