US director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has resigned from her position, citing her husband's ill health, she announced on Friday.
Formerly a member of the Democratic Party, Gabbard ran as a presidential candidate in the party's primaries in 2020 on an anti-interventionist platform. She later dropped out before endorsing eventual US President Joe Biden.
Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022, and endorsed Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election before joining the Republican Party later that year.
Tulsi Gabbard is the fourth cabinet departure of Trump's second term as president.
