The Politicization of National Intelligence
Briefly

Tulsi Gabbard's position as director of national intelligence under Trump faces challenges as she attempts to align intelligence with the president's preferences post-Iran airstrikes. Analysts, including Shane Harris, express concern over the dangers of politicized intelligence, particularly as Gabbard had previously committed to eradicating this within the intelligence community. Discussions on Washington Week With The Atlantic highlighted the potential implications for national-security and emphasized the conflict between Gabbard's past anti-interventionist stance and her current role in the Trump administration.
Gabbard joined the Trump administration in a "MAGA wing of no war, no foreign intervention," according to Shane Harris, emphasizing the tension between her past stance and current alignment.
Harris explained how Gabbard is now trying to ensure that her intelligence assessments align with Trump's political preferences, which poses a risk to the integrity of intelligence.
