Scoop: Pulte sought Gabbard's early removal as intel czar
Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing director of national intelligence, received a surprise call from Bill Pulte demanding her immediate resignation, which she refused until confirmed by President Trump. Gabbard's resignation date was later set for June 19 after Trump adjusted her original June 30 plan, amid congressional backlash over Pulte's unqualified appointment to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
