\u201cUnfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026,\u201d she told President Trump in her formal resignation letter. \u201cMy husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer [and] faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cHis strength and love have sustained me through every challenge. I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,\u201d Ms. Gabbard wrote.<\/p>\n

Confirming her departure, President Trump said on social media, \u201cUnfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the Administration on June 30th.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cshe, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together. I have no doubt he will soon be better than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lukas will serve as acting director, Mr. Trump announced.<\/p>\n

Her role in the administration was the subject of speculation for months, after she told Congress earlier this year that Iran was not close to building a nuclear weapon. The president has said the war that began on Feb. 28 was necessary to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Ms. Gabbard, who was sworn into her role in February 2025, said she is \u201cdeeply grateful for the trust [that Mr. Trump] placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that while she has \u201cmade significant progress at the [the DNI office] \u2014 advancing unprecedented transparency and restoring integrity to the intelligence community \u2014 there is still important work to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added in a message to the president, \u201cI am fully committed to ensuring a smooth and thorough transition over the coming weeks so that you and your team experience no disruption in leadership or momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Gabbard\u2019s departure comes amid Cabinet firings.<\/p>\n

The president ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi in April after her 14-month tenure, driven by her handling of the Justice Department\u2019s infamous Jeffrey Epstein files and her failure to secure political convictions.<\/p>\n

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was fired following a series of leadership issues. She authorized a $200 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign, claiming the president personally approved it, which Mr. Trump denied. She also faced backlash for her handling of the deadly ICE confrontations in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer stepped down after allegations of having an affair with a subordinate.<\/p>\n

And Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary recently resigned after reportedly facing mounting pressure and internal conflicts with the White House.<\/p>\n
