Gabbard Cornered on Intel Warning to Trump Before He Went to War

Donald Trump’s top intelligence official has thrown doubt on his claim that Iran’s retaliation over the war came as a surprise to the administration.

Days after the president said he was “shocked” by Tehran’s reaction, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard faced a grilling on Capitol Hill over the briefings the president received before he joined Israel in the deadly conflict.
