Trump considers replacing Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence chief

Trump has polled cabinet officials on whether to replace Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence over her stance on the war in Iran.
Gabbard's failure to condemn former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent, who criticized the administration's war rationale, has frustrated Trump.
Despite his frustrations, Trump publicly maintains confidence in Gabbard, acknowledging their differing views.
