The Senate voted with party lines on Monday to submit the nomination of Tulsi Gibard to become the Director of the National Intelligence, and it indicated the removal of Republican resistance against his nomination and a smooth way to confirm it. Place
The latest vote of 52 to 46 was that the Republicans faced severe pressure to confirm President Trump’s nominees, eliminating serious concerns and remaining in accordance with their wishes. It removed the final obstacle of Ms Gibard’s confirmation, once he had strong bilateral concerns about his positions about intelligence matters and sympathy for former Syrian dictator Bashar al -Assad and President Vladimir V Putin. It was considered a great war about the rigorous war about the statements. From Russia
That’s now everything, but it will be confirmed that a final vote will be confirmed in the final vote on Tuesday evening or Wednesday.
The action came as a Democrats, who have disqualified Ms Gibard for the role, pressuring their Republican colleagues to join them in opposition.
Senator Mark Warner of the Intelligence Committee, Virginia Senator Mark Warner, said that confirming Ms Gibard would be “irresponsible”, and he declared it illegal to guide 18 agencies formed the intelligence community in the United States.
“Today’s world is more complicated and more dangerous than ever. We need serious people with experience, skills and decisions to navigate this complexity, “Mr Warner said in the moments of speech before the vote.” Unfortunately, Ms. Gabard is not such a nominee. “
Ms Gibard’s confirmation hearing was the most controversial in Mr Trump’s cabinet selection so far, as she faced severe scrutiny of both the Democrats and several Republicans. Senators from both sides pressured Ms Gibard to her past statements and positions, including Edward Snowden’s defense, the intelligence contractor took a whistleblower, and without a warrant wire tape surveillance program The change that he once tried to end.
Some lawmakers also had problems with the history of reconciliation with Mr Assad, and had a clear openness to Mr Putin’s global ideology.
But Ms Gibard eventually received the support of every Republican in the Senate Intelligence Committee and avoided any delay in the verification process after pleasing to the key lawmakers, including Mine’s Susan Collins and Indiana’s Todd Ying. The national intelligence priorities were linked.
Before the hearing, the two senators indicated that they were uncertain about moving forward with Ms Gibard, but Ms Collins and Mr Ying have said that their concerns have been removed and their support. Promised
On Monday, the Republicans said that Ms Gibard’s military experience made her understanding of the intelligence agencies of her time in Congress, and made it suitable for her service. And he praised Mr Trump’s commitment to look at the agency’s work force, which many Republicans have argued that in the context of September 11, when the role of the Director National Intelligence is to If given, it has been overcome.
Senator John Thor, who is a Republican and majority leader of South Dakota, said before the vote, “The intelligence community needs to focus on its basic mission to collect intelligence and provide a neutral analysis of this information. “ “If it has been confirmed, if it has been confirmed to be DNI, and I am sure that it has the knowledge and leadership capabilities to perform it.”
The development of Ms Gibard was another in relation to the victories for Mr Trump as he regularly wears Republican doubts for his most nominated candidates. The Republicans are expected to go ahead with a test vote on the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Junior for Secretary Health, which is another election, which has led to concerns between both sides. But despite a severe scrutiny of its vaccine suspicions and supporters of abortion rights, the Republicans also appear to proceed to confirm it, possibly by the end of the week.
