Tulsi Gabbard Resigns From Trump Administration To Provide Aid To Husband Diagnosed With Cancer

Gabbard

Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her position as the Director of National Intelligence in order to support her husband Abraham who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

“Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026,” she said in her resignation letter which was obtained by Fox News Digital. “My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”

Due to the ailment, Abraham “faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months,” Tusli’s resignation letter said.

By solely focusing on providing care and support to her husband she will be honoring the “in sickness and in health” marriage vow.

“At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,” Gabbard said. 

Gabbard said she’s “deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half.”

She elaborated on their marriage and commitment to one another.

“Abraham has been my rock throughout our eleven years of marriage — standing steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a Joint Special Operations mission, multiple political campaigns and now my service in this role,” Tulsi said. “His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge … I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position.”

She will remain at her post until the end of June while the Trump administration makes the necessary decisions on her successor at the ODNI.

“I am fully committed to ensuring a smooth and thorough transition over the coming weeks so that you and your team experience no disruption in leadership or momentum,” she said.

Gabbard is grateful for the federal intelligence position she was selected for by President Donald Trump.

“Thank you for your understanding during this deeply personal and difficult time for our family,” Gabbard said. “I will remain forever grateful to you and to the American people for the profound honor of serving our nation as DNI.”

President Donald Trump commented on Gabbard’s resignation, saying she did a great job as the DNI, and announcing that Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas, will serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

Fox News Digital chronicled the work and accomplishments Gabbard oversaw at the ODNI, many of her actions were right in-line with the 2024 MAGA campaign agenda that was very popular amongst Trump’s base:

Gabbard, as DNI, began a transformational effort to reshape the Intelligence Community— reducing the agency in size and saving taxpayers more than $700 million per year, dismantling DEI programs in the IC and more.

Gabbard, as of this month, declassified more than half a million pages of government records, including those related to the Trump-Russia investigation, the JFK and RFK assassinations and more.

Gabbard also declassified documents tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia “Crossfire Hurricane” probe, arguing they showed Obama administration officials politicized intelligence related to Russia’s 2016 election interference and used it to undermine Trump’s first presidential victory.

Meanwhile, Gabbard created the first-ever “Weaponization Working Group,” aimed at coordinating efforts across the federal government to expose the Biden Admin’s weaponization of government. 

As DNI, Gabbard’s National Counterterrorism Center prevented more than 10,000 individuals with ties to narco-terrorism from entering the country in 2025 and placed more than 85,000 similarly tied individuals on the terror watchlist.
