The president has begun polling Cabinet members about a replacement, while advisers warn a vacancy could create political distractions.
- President Donald Trump is polling advisors about potentially replacing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, following frustration regarding her recent congressional testimony and handling of a former deputy.

- Asked Sunday if he maintains confidence in the DNI, Trump offered a lukewarm endorsement, saying 'yeah, sure,' while White House spokesperson Steven Cheung later defended Gabbard's 'tireless work' and cabinet contributions.
- Gabbard's spokesperson, Olivia Coleman, noted that Trump recently expressed confidence in the DNI and praised her hearings, adding that Gabbard remains committed to 'fulfilling the responsibilities the president placed in her.'
- Advisors have cautioned that a high-profile vacancy during the ongoing war with Iran could cause political distractions; while Trump has not publicly criticized the DNI, reports suggest the polling process is an 'ominous development.
