WASHINGTON — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard submitted her resignation Friday — citing her husband’s recent cancer diagnosis.

“Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026,” she wrote. “My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”

The former Hawaii Democratic congresswoman also thanked President Trump for “the trust you placed in me.”
