Trump warned about this.

Senate Democrats are quietly working to delay Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing next week.

President Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.

“I am pleased to announce that former Congresswoman, Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard, will serve as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans. As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties – She is now a proud Republican! I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength. Tulsi will make us proud!” Trump said in November.

Late last month President Trump sounded the alarm on Senate Democrats’ plan to “improperly stall and delay the confirmation process” of many of his Cabinet nominees.

Senate Democrats are secretly sabotaging Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation by claiming she has not provided enough “vetting materials.”

Axios reported:

Senate Democrats are forcing a delay in Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing next week, claiming she hasn’t provided required vetting materials — while Republicans accuse them of playing games, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: It’s the first taste of what’s expected to be a drama-filled few weeks as the Senate takes up some of President-elect Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks.

  • Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is balking at GOP requests to hold a hearing for Gabbard early next week, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations.
  • Gabbard, a former member of the House, is Trump’s pick for national intelligence director.
  • Warner has pointed out that the committee has not yet received Gabbard’s FBI background check, ethics disclosure or a pre-hearing questionnaire, a source familiar with the matter told us. Committee rules require the background check a week in advance of a hearing.

The other side: Gabbard completed the background check process last week, according to a source working with the nominee. Her active security clearance also means the process will be expedited.

In 2022, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard announced that she was leaving the Democrat party, calling Democrats the party of warmongers and wokeness.

WATCH:

In October, Tulsi announced she is joining the Republican party at a Trump rally in North Carolina.

“I’m joining the party of the people. The party of equality. The party founded to fight against and end slavery… It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace,” Tulsi said.
