Washington — Tulsi Gabbard resigned as Director of National Intelligence on Friday, May 22, 2026, saying she will step away to care for her husband after he was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. She notified President Trump in the Oval Office and posted a resignation letter announcing an effective date of June 30, 2026. Her departure creates a transition window through June 30, during which Gabbard said she will ensure a smooth handover; the exit is the fourth noted Cabinet change during the administration and follows earlier resignations and firings. This week officials and outlets noted prior internal tensions over the February 28 strikes on Iran and the March resignation of the National Counterterrorism Center director, setting the administrative context for the turnover.
