32. Wasserman Schultz says Gabbard 'likely a Russian asset'

I trust Wasserman Schultz on this issue.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Trump’s pick for national intelligence director, is “likely a Russian asset.”

“There’s no question I consider her someone who is likely a Russian asset,” Wasserman Schultz said on MSNBC on Friday.

The Hill has contacted Gabbard’s press team for comment.

Wasserman Schultz’s comment comes as Trump has faced some pushback over some of his cabinet picks, including his nod toward Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

The role is a major shift for the former Democrat who has previously been accused of peddling Russian narratives. Gabbard has expressed beliefs that oppose the conclusions from U.S. intelligence, particularly when it comes to Russia and Ukraine.

Gabbard has shared content suggesting that the U.S. was involved in Ukraine developing biological weapons. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said at the time that she was “parroting Russian propaganda” and that her “treasonous lies may well cost lives.”
