The US Senate has confirmed Tulsi Gabbard to serve as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The Senate voted 52 to 48, mostly along party lines, to confirm Gabbard on Wednesday to the position overseeing the 18-agency intelligence community and acting as Trump’s top adviser on intelligence issues. The only Republican to vote against Gabbard was Senator Mitch McConnell, the party’s former leader in the chamber. No Democrats or independents voted in favour of the nominee.
