Controversy arose over Trump’s choice for the US National Intelligence Service

According to RCO News Agency, “Donald Trump”, who was able to achieve a decisive victory in the November 5 presidential election of the United States of America, these days is busy introducing his options for the cabinet of his new government, and many of them are for various reasons, from ethical cases and sexual misconduct to Issues related to politics are under the microscope of the media and the Democrats.

According to the Associated Press News agency, Republican senators expressed their opposition on Sunday in response to the Democrats’ criticism regarding the proposed choice of President-elect Donald Trump to head the National Intelligence Service.

Democrats consider Trump’s choice for the head of the US National Intelligence Service, Tulsi Gebard, as a “compromising” person who they claim has “close relations with Iran and Russia” and apparently held “secret meetings” with the Syrian president.

“Tammy Duckworth”, a Democratic senator from the state of Illinois, while expressing concern about Gebhardt for the head of the US National Intelligence Service and referring to his trip to Syria in 2017, told CNN: “Gebhardt was the Democratic representative of Hawaii in the House of Representatives at that time. and during this trip he held talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. I think he is a compromiser. The US intelligence community sees him as someone with troubling ties to America’s enemies. “I’m also concerned that he won’t be able to pass the background check.”

Tulsi Gebhardt, who said last month he was joining the Republican Party, served in the US Army National Guard for more than two decades, the Associated Press reported. He was also deployed to Iraq and Kuwait, and in 2005 he received a combat medic badge for “participating in combat operations under enemy fire in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom III,” according to the Hawaii National Guard.

This statement of the Democratic senator brought a lot of criticism from the Republicans.

Oklahoma Republican Senator Marcin Mullin told CNN: “It’s wrong to say such dangerous and blunt words. “The most dangerous thing he can say is that such a rank in the US military is compromising and compromising with Russia.”

Mullin and others argue that this level of criticism from Democrats is because Gabard abandoned his party and became a Trump ally.

Democrats claim that Gabard’s appointment will “jeopardize” America’s relations with its allies and “promote Russia’s victory.”

Eric Schmidt, a Republican senator from the state of Missouri, said: “I think it’s ridiculous to think of Gebhardt as a pawn of Russia. “This is offensive and there is no evidence for it.”
