Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump's nominee to serve as the director of national intelligence, will testify Thursday morning at a confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The 43-year-old former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and combat veteran would oversee the nation's 18 spy agencies.

Should Kennedy gain confirmation, he would oversee HHS’s $1.7 trillion budget and hold influence over the foods and drugs that affect the daily lives of Americans.
