Tulsi Gabbard faces questions over views on Syria after sudden collapse of Assad rule

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard‘s past sympathies for ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad‘s regime are under scrutiny as she looks to shore up support on Capitol Hill for her nomination to become President-elect Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence.

Gabbard faces another busy day of meetings Tuesday on Capitol Hill after meetings with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Mike Rounds (R-SD), and James Lankford (R-OK) on Monday.
