Louis DeSipio, UC Irvine political science professor, claims Tulsi Gabbard hasn’t been actively involved in her role as director of national intelligence. “I don’t think she was actively involved in decision-making. When we invaded Venezuela, she was unaware of what was going on… in the period since, she hasn’t been actively involved in the conversations about Iran. So, I’d say her role has been on the periphery of the Trump administration,” says DeSipio.
