Batarti Gabbard, 55, the older brother of Tulsi Gabbard, was charged with second-degree custodial interference after allegedly trying to lure several children to his Waikīkī hotel room by offering money and gum; the incident occurred July 12 at a hotel pool, and the children reportedly refused. He is said to be receiving psychiatric treatment; he had also been arrested for theft earlier in July and is no longer in custody, with no court date yet set for the custodial-interference charge.

Gabbard Uses Declassified Files to Probe Fauci's COVID Origins Involvement

Outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified materials showing intelligence officials debated Fauci’s role in their COVID-19 origins review, including whether to consult him as an outside reviewer and whether his recommendations for interview subjects would signal a conflict of interest. The release is part of her closing effort atop the intelligence community as ODNI transitions to Bill Pulte, whose confirmation faces resistance, and as she notes Fauci’s influence amid the wider debate over the origins of the virus.

Trump taps Bill Pulte to run the intelligence community during confirmation delay

Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, becomes acting director of national intelligence after a political tug-of-war over the post, as Senate confirmation hearings for Jay Clayton are put on hold. Pulte has no intelligence background but is seen as a Trump ally; Democrats have criticized him for pursuing political investigations, and a GAO probe examined whether he improperly accessed opponents’ financial data. With Clayton’s nomination stalled, Pulte will oversee the 18 U.S. spy agencies in an interim capacity.

Ukraine Rejects Biolab Claims as Gabbard Map Misplaces Kyiv

Trump taps Bill Pulte as interim intelligence chief after Gabbard resignation

President Donald Trump named Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting director of national intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard, who plans to resign at the end of June. Pulte will serve in an acting DNI role while remaining FHFA director and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, avoiding Senate confirmation for now. The appointment follows Pulte’s past referrals and probes against Democrats, a point critics say signals political targeting, and it’s unclear whether he will be Trump’s permanent choice.
