President Trump just announced Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation after her husband has fallen ill will bone cancer.
He also announces that her Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas, will replace her in the interim.
Here’s what he said:
Unfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the Administration on June 30th. Her wonderful husband, Abraham, has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, and she, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together. I have no doubt he will soon be better than ever. Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her. Her highly respected Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas, will serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. President DONALD J. TRUMP
I hope Trump is right and he does get better quickly. I know from having cancer that once there is a diagnosis, things happen very quickly to try and kill the cancer, like chemo, radiation, surgery, etc. We wish both of them the best.
