Gabbard informed Trump of her decision during a meeting at the White House on Friday. Her final day leading the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is expected to be June 30, 2026.

Resignation letter

In her formal resignation letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, Gabbard thanked President Donald Trump for the opportunity to lead the intelligence community for the past year and a half.

“My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer” and "faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months."

"At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle," she wrote.

Gabbard added, "Abraham has been my rock throughout our eleven years of marriage — standing steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a Joint Special Operations mission, multiple political campaigns and now my service in this role."

"His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge," she continued. “I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position.”

Laura Loomer celebrates Gabbard's resignation

Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer celebrated Gabbard’s resignation in a series of posts on X.

“Thank God Tulsi Gabbard resigned!!!” Loomer wrote, claiming “all of our enemies love Tulsi.”

In another post Sunday, Loomer alleged that some Trump allies had privately nicknamed the DNI office "Do Not Invite."

Loomer further accused Gabbard of mishandling intelligence operations and clashing with CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

She wrote on X, "I broke the news months ago that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard would resign after turning her office into a breeding ground for leaks that consistently compromised and undermined our national security."

Loomer continued, "Insiders in the White House and close Trump allies literally nicknamed DNI "Do Not Invite" because Tulsi Gabbard constantly SABOTAGED President Donald Trump and combated CIA Director John Ratcliffe while her office ran cover for Islamists who use bot networks online to aid Islamic adversaries while demonizing our ally, Israel."

She added, "She packed her department with antisemitic leakers like Joe Kent, who spent their days hyper-fixated on Israel and watching podcasts and leaking to Tucker Carlson instead of locking down and breaking up jihadi terror cells inside America. It’s unforgivable behavior. Our commander-in-chief deserves an intelligence community he can actually TRUST. Good riddance!"
