Based on the context provided, concerns have been raised about Tulsi Gabbard's ties to Russian state media and her foreign policy positions aligning with Russian interests. Three of her former staffers have stated that she regularly consumed and shared content from RT, a Russian state-run media outlet, despite being advised that it was not a credible source. Additionally, a 2017 memo revealed Gabbard's views blaming the U.S. and NATO for provoking Russia and expressing skepticism about overthrowing the Russian government, positions that seem to echo Kremlin talking points. While these reports do not definitively prove Gabbard is a Russian agent, they raise legitimate questions about her judgment and alignment with Russian narratives that should be thoroughly examined before she is confirmed as Director of National Intelligence. As such, I would request that her nomination be put on hold pending a comprehensive review of her ties to Russian propaganda sources and her stances on key issues involving Russia's interests. The American people deserve full transparency and assurances that the DNI nominee will uphold U.S. national security without undue foreign influence.
