Washington, May 23: Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday she is resigning as Director of National Intelligence in President Donald Trump’s administration to care for her husband, Abraham Williams, who was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.
In a resignation letter addressed to the president, Gabbard said she is stepping down so she can support Williams during his treatment. Her departure makes her the latest Cabinet-level official to leave the administration.
The White House has not yet named a successor. A timeline for Gabbard’s last day was not disclosed.
