Tulsi Gabbard is leaving her role as Director of National Intelligence after revealing her husband has been diagnosed with what she described as “an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”
Gabbard informed President Donald Trump of her decision during a meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, according to Fox News.
Her final day leading the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is expected to be June 30.
In a resignation letter obtained by the outlet, Gabbard said the decision came after her husband, Abraham, received the devastating 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.”
She said the coming months will require her full attention as her husband faces treatment and recovery.
“Abraham has been my rock throughout our eleven years of marriage — standing steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a Joint Special Operations mission, multiple political campaigns and now my service in this role,” Gabbard wrote.
“His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge,” she continued. “I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position.”
