The White House refuted a report published by The Guardian claiming that President Trump privately asked cabinet officials if he should fire Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. President Trump Allegedly Considering Replacing Another Top Official "@POTUS has total confidence in @DNIGabbard, and any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news. The President has assembled the most talented and impactful Cabinet ever, and they have collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people," White House spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. .@StevenCheung47: "@POTUS has total confidence in @DNIGabbard, and any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news. The President has assembled the most talented and impactful Cabinet ever, and they have collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people." https://t.co/tOvbyQnCSU — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) April 2, 2026 Daily Mail shared further: President Donald Trump believes that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard should remain in the job he chose for her, sources tell the Daily Mail. Since the war in Iran started last month, Gabbard's rivals have questioned her loyalty to the mission, advocating that the president fire her and name a replacement. One solution, proposed by an ally of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was fired by the president on Thursday was to shift Bondi to replace Gabbard, according to CBS. But the president indicated that he wanted Gabbard to stay in the job the report noted. The White House pushed back against a report from the Guardian that said Trump had soured on Gabbard after her former deputy Joe Kent, who made a dramatic exit and resigned in protest over the president's decision to go to war with Iran. The report comes on the same day Trump ousted Bondi from her role as Attorney General and less than a month after he removed Kristi Noem from the Department of Homeland Security. But the White House pushed back strongly against the idea that the president was ready to oust a third woman from his cabinet. Trump told reporters "yeah, sure" when asked if he still had confidence in Gabbard's leadership. “I mean, she’s a little bit different in her thought process than me, but that doesn’t make somebody not available to serve," he added.

Most recently, he demoted Kristi Noem from homeland security secretary to a lesser role as an envoy within the state department. There has been a general recognition in the administration that Gabbard often faces thankless tasks, and has struggled at times to find her own lane as the director of national intelligence, a role that traditionally involves overseeing US intelligence agencies and their competing factions. Gabbard’s testimony that frustrated Trump, for instance, was in line with her longstanding criticism of the US becoming entangled in foreign wars, as well as her previous statements to Congress in 2019 that she believed the president could not legally order pre-emptive attacks. Her testimony also represented remarks that had been workshopped with the CIA in advance of the hearings, according to a person familiar with the matter, who added that Gabbard had been spending nearly every day at the White House in support of the war in Iran. She has won favor with Trump in other moments, including for producing an official report asserting that Russia had not sought to boost Trump’s campaign in 2016 at the expense of Hillary Clinton – a conclusion not shared by congressional investigations at the time. “Over the past two weeks, President Trump said both that he has confidence in the DNI and that she did well at her hearings before Congress. She remains committed to fulfilling the responsibilities the president placed in her,” Olivia Coleman, a spokesperson for Gabbard, said in a statement. But Gabbard has also quickly racked up a list of perceived transgressions, current and former officials said.

The governor and her security detail came upon the accident just after the vehicle crashed into the toll plaza, Hall said. A New Hampshire state trooper assigned to her detail and two other bystanders helped Mirman — the lone occupant — out of the burning vehicle through the window, according to Hall. Hall said he is not identifying the trooper due to the nature of the assignment. “It is a veteran trooper, and certainly their actions were heroic in what they did — without hesitation, put themselves in danger to render aid to somebody that clearly was in need of it,” Hall said. “I’m proud of the State Trooper and the bystanders who saved a life at the scene of yesterday’s crash in Bedford,” Ayotte said in a statement. “It’s an example of the great work first responders do each day to keep New Hampshire safe and how Granite Staters always step up to help someone in need.” The governor and other witnesses also provided assistance at the scene, according to Hall. “Eugene was in a very scary car accident. He wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be on the mend. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries,” Mirman’s agent said in a statement, according to the outlet. The governor exited her vehicle to retrieve a fire extinguisher, the New York Post noted.

The crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed.
