Tulsi Gabbard is facing the Nomination of Emirates of the Emperor Intel
Washington -The President Trump as the director of the National Intelligence Agency Tulsi Gabbard facing important voting on Tuesday, which may be doomed or promoted to nominate.
According to the assistant of the committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee will vote at her nomination at the closed meeting. Republicans have a majority of seats in the group, which means that if all members are present, Gabbard cannot withstand a single and party voting.
The committee can still vote for nominations without the proposal. If she falls, she also risks that there is no sufficient Republican support in the floor voting. Without democratic defectors, only four Republicans need to oppose her nomination.
Last week, several senators paid attention to her forward path.
The Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley said in an interview with the Fox News on Thursday: “I am worried about the news I heard some Republican colleagues.” “I worry that her nomination may be in danger. “” ”
But she was supported by the Republican Senator Susan Collins, a member of the committee members on Monday. Before the announcement, Collins was regarded as a potential “none” vote, but she said that Gabad resolved her concerns and shared her view of narrowing the office of the director of the State Intelligence.

Mr. Trump's choice of choosing a leadership intelligence community is considered one of the most vulnerable nominations Her confirmation hearing will be on January 30thWhen she has been baking in many controversial positions for many years. She decided to meet with Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad in 2017. The comments on the Russian war in Ukraine and her past opposition, the key government surveillance authorities with renewal of the renewal of the renewal, are called the “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Law” Article 702.
The most controversial moment in the hearing was because she was repeatedly suppressed by the Republican and Democratic Senators because she was willing to describe Snowden as a “traitor.”
Gabut refused to answer this question directly, and he answered “Edward Snowden violated the law” every time. She never said that he was a “traitor” and seemed to have a behavior of defending herself, telling the group that he revealed the “despicable illegal and unconstitutional plan” that led to reform. During the Presidential election in 2020, Gabbard vowed Pardon Snowden, which leaked a lot of information about the US government's highest secret large -scale surveillance plan. Snowden fled to Hong Kong, and later fled to Russia in exile.
Gabut said to the senators: “I don't agree or support all the information and information he posted, and I don't agree with the way he do.”
Gabbard also tried to alleviate her concerns about her criticism of Arta's Article 702, which enables the United States to collect foreign communications without arresting orders. US officials say this is vital to protect national security because it helps to destroy terrorist attacks, cyber attacks and spy activities. It does not allow our citizens to become the goal, but when they come into contact with foreigners, their communication can be swept.
Gabbard told Senators at the hearing last week that this was vital to national security. A few years later, she tried to abolish controversial laws.
She said: “From the perspective of national security, we will turn a blind eye to see many fields without this ability.” “It must also exist next to the location where the citizen of Americans is free to protect.”
The parliamentarians from Hawaii also met with Assad because of her comment on the Ukrainian war and suspected that his regime was criticized for using chemical weapons for civilians, so she was facing criticism.
At the hearing, Gabad acknowledged that the Russian President Vladimir Putin “started the Ukrainian war”. Her suspicion of the chemical weapon attack was based on the “contradictory information and evidence” given her at the time. Essence
