NEW: Trump blows off Gabbard downplaying Iran nuke threat, but WH still says president and intel chief are in sync – Fox News
The White House said President Donald Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are closely aligned on Iran after the president recently declared he did not “care” what Gabbard had to say during previous Senate testimony after she argued Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.
Gabbard dismissed concerns Iran was building a nuclear weapon during March testimony before the Senate, just months before Israel launched preemptive strikes on Iran directly in response to Israeli intelligence showing Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a short span of time.
Trump was asked about Gabbard’s testimony while traveling back to Washington Monday evening from the G7 summit in Canada, and the president said he didn’t “care” what Gabbard had to say in previous testimony, and said he believes Iran is close to building a nuke.
