Trump nominee Tulsi Gabbard elected as director of national intelligence

The U.S. Senate has voted to confirm President Trump's nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, to serve as the country's top intelligence official. Gabbard is now the country's top intelligence official.

The former Democratic congresswoman was approved to oversee U.S. agencies by a majority vote of 52 to 48. Her confirmation marks another cabinet victory for Trump as the Senate moves quickly to confirm his remaining nominees.

As director, Gabbard will oversee 18 intelligence agencies including the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency (NSA) and manage a budget of more than $70 billion (£55 billion).
