Fresh questions are swirling around the future of Tulsi Gabbard after Donald Trump privately sounded out advisers on whether she should remain in one of the administration’s most sensitive roles. According to a report by the Guardian, Trump has asked cabinet officials in recent weeks if he should replace Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. The conversations followed his growing frustration over her handling of internal disagreements linked to the US stance on Iran war. At the centre of the tension is former deputy Joe Kent, wwho resigned after arguing that Iran did not pose an threat to the US. Trump was already angered by Kent’s remarks, but matters worsened when Gabbard declined to condemn him during testimony before Congress at a worldwide threats hearing last month.

A major political storm has erupted as Donald Trump reportedly sacks Pam Bondi over alleged mishandling of sensitive Epstein-related documents. The development has triggered intense debate across political circles, raising serious questions about accountability, transparency, and the handling of high-profile cases linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The breaking update has quickly become a flashpoint in US politics, drawing sharp reactions from both supporters and critics.
According to multiple sources, Trump has privately discussed the possibility of ousting Bondi and replacing her with Lee Zeldin, currently serving as EPA Administrator. The development has triggered intense speculation about internal tensions and the broader implications for the administration.
The reported move comes at a sensitive time, with political pressure mounting and questions being raised over handling of key investigations. While no official confirmation has been made, the situation is evolving rapidly and could signal a major shake-up at the top levels of the U.S. Justice Department.

The reason for Gen. George’s firing, in part:
Hegseth for months has pressed Gen. George & Army Secy Dan Driscoll to remove 4 officers — 2 Black & 2 female — from a promotions list. George & Driscoll have refused, citing the officers long and exemplary service. https://t.co/83nH31UHho
