About
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently sparked controversy with remarks about Paterson, New Jersey. During a speech at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest event in Phoenix on Saturday, Gabbard claimed the city is working to impose Islamic law. CBS News New York reports that leaders in Paterson are pushing back against her statements, calling them inaccurate and inflammatory.
Gabbard, a former congresswoman from Hawaii and 2020 presidential candidate, also testified alongside CIA Director John Ratcliffe before the House Intelligence Committee. The hearing addressed a journalist allegedly added to a group message with top United States security officials discussing a bombing in Yemen. CBS News New York covered the session, noting questions about security protocols.
She and Ratcliffe returned to Capitol Hill for a Senate Intelligence hearing on global threats. CBS News New York detailed the pre-scheduled testimony, highlighting ongoing concerns about international risks.
The AJC reports that Gabbard was slated to speak at the winter conference of Secretaries of State in Washington, D.C., on Friday alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The event focused on election integrity amid an FBI raid on a Fulton County election warehouse in Georgia, but the officials did not address the probe directly. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the raid shows the administration prioritizes election security.
These developments come as Gabbard navigates her role amid debates over her qualifications, with some opinions criticizing her past positions as at variance with intelligence agencies.
