Tulsi Gabbard resigns as the US director of national intelligence, ending her tenure in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet. Multiple outlets report that Gabbard submits a resignation letter to Trump and publicly signals her departure, with Politico Europe citing that she shares the letter on X. The Guardian and CBS News report that she plans to leave the post on June 30. Several sources describe her stint as contentious, noting she was largely sidelined while the Trump administration moves to confront or escalate actions related to Venezuela and Iran.

Forbes also reports that Gabbard discusses her decision with Trump during a Cabinet meeting. Politico Europe says the resignation letter attributes her departure to supporting her husband, who is reported to be battling bone cancer. The reports collectively frame the move as part of a broader pattern of high-profile Cabinet departures during Trump’s second term, with Salon describing her as the fourth Cabinet member to depart. SBS News additionally highlights Gabbard’s background and her public stance against foreign wars, without changing the core facts of the resignation timeline.
