Tulsi Gabbard resigns as director of national intelligence, citing husband’s health

Tulsi Gabbard has submitted her resignation as director of national intelligence, citing concerns about her husband’s health, after roughly 15 months leading the country’s spy agencies.

In her resignation letter, Gabbard said she is stepping down to support her husband, videographer Abraham Williams, as he battles a rare form of bone cancer. “He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months,” she wrote. “At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.”
