Trump Appoints Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

Alina Habba, a senior adviser and attorney to President-elect Donald Trump, has announced she is not considering the role of White House Press Secretary despite speculation about her candidacy. Habba expressed on social media that she prefers to serve in other capacities within the administration. Trump has appointed former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, highlighting her military background and shift from the Democratic Party. Gabbard is expected to bring a 'fearless spirit' to the intelligence community. Trump's cabinet picks, including Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and his consideration of MAGA-friendly media for press briefings, indicate a move towards unconventional choices for his administration.
