Description

While President-elect Donald Trump’s other controversial picks like Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth have been sucking up all the oxygen in Washington, Tulsi Gabbard has managed to stay largely out of the spotlight. But now, Trump's enigmatic nominee for DNI is in the hot seat. The former Democrat is coming under fire for alleged sympathies towards Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, who was run out of the country by rebels this past weekend. Can Gabbard convince senators that she’s the right person to brief the president? Playbook co-author Rachael Bade shares what she’s hearing on Capitol Hill. Plus, Trump breaks down his day one agenda on “Meet the Press.”
