Tulsi Gabbard -- a military veteran and honorary co-chair of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team -- has been chosen by Trump to be his director of national intelligence. Gabbard recently said it would be a "honor" to serve in a Trump administration as she waited for Trump to make selections for his administration.

Tulsi Gabbard - a former Democratic congresswoman who joined the Republican Party to back Donald Trump - is the president-elect's pick for director of national intelligence. The wide-ranging role would mean she oversees US intelligence agencies like the CIA, FBI and the National Security Agency (NSA), which focuses on intelligence gathering.
