And, here’s the full video on Youtube of the swearing-in ceremony:
From The Hill:
Tulsi Gabbard was sworn in as director of national intelligence on Wednesday in the Oval Office, hours after the Senate confirmed her.
Attorney General Pam Bondi administered the oath of office to Gabbard, who Trump called “an American of extraordinary courage and patriotism.” He noted that she was deployed three times in the Army National Guard and that she is a former Democratic congresswoman, riffing “can you believe that?”
Gabbard thanked the president for his trust in her and vowed to “refocus our intelligence community” after she was sworn in.
“Unfortunately, the American people have very little trust in the intelligence community, largely because they’ve seen the weaponization and politicization of an entity that is supposed to be purely focused on ensuring our national security,” the new intelligence chief said.
The Senate confirmed her in a 52-48 vote, following two months of deliberations in the over whether Gabbard is qualified enough to lead the intelligence agencies and prepare Trump’s daily intelligence brief.
ADVERTISEMENTFormer Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) was the only Republican to vote against her. No Democrats backed her.
I can’t wait to see what Tulsi Gabbard has in store for us in her first actions as Director of National Intelligence.
I guess we will see, very soon, in the coming days!
🇺🇸 Tulsi Gabbard sworn in as National Intelligence Director is another huge statement of intent.
She has remained consistently true to herself & called about tyranny at every opportunity.
