‘I can’t in good conscience say…’: What did Tulsi Gabbard write about her husband in her resignation letter?
There was talk of Tulsi Gabbard’s exit in Washington for several days, as the DNI was missing in action for several weeks when the US attacked Iran. Gabbard’s deputy Jo Kent resigned from her post in March, making Gabbard’s imminent departure only a matter of time. On Friday the Director of National Intelligence submitted his resignation and did not mention anything about his ‘disagreement’ on the Iran war. Gabbard said her husband was recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, forcing him to step down from his duties.“Unfortunately, I have to submit my resignation effective June 30, 2026,” he wrote. “My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation letter read, “Abraham has been a rock to me during our eleven years of marriage – standing firm during my deployment to East Africa on a Joint Special Operations mission, through numerous political campaigns, and now during my service in this role. His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge. I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this battle alone while I remain in this demanding and time-consuming position.”“While we have made significant progress at ODNI – pursuing unprecedented transparency and restoring integrity to the intelligence community – I recognize that there is still significant work to be done. I am fully committed to ensuring a smooth and thorough transition in the coming weeks so that you and the tour team experience no disruption in leadership or momentum,” she wrote.
