From the Daily Caller: Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard tells CNN she and President Donald Trump are “on the same page” when it comes to Iran’s nuclear capabilities and timeline. She accused the media of taking her out of context by leaving out her full testimony.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump aboard Air Force One to respond to remarks reportedly made by Gabbard.
“Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon,” Collins said.
“I don’t care what she said,” Trump replied. “I think they were very close to having one.”

Gabbard has now pushed back, saying the media misquoted her.
“What President Trump is saying is the same thing that I said in my annual threat assessment back in March in Congress. Unfortunately, too many people in the media don’t care to actually read what I said,” Gabbard told NBC News
She also released the same statement to CNN. Gabbard’s deputy chief of staff, Alexa Henning, then posted Gabbard’s full testimony to shed more light on what Gabbard actually said during her testimony before Congress in March.
