The delay comes as President Donald Trump evaluates his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >options amidst tensions escalating<\/a> with Iran. While Gabbard was set to address the committee, she had to attend urgent White House meetings, leading to the rescheduling at the committee&#8217;s request due to several senators&#8217; prior commitments. <\/p>\n<p>The article highlights the political backdrop, noting Trump&#8217;s critical stance towards Gabbard&#8217;s previous comments on iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities, and also his conflicting statements regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-you-suggesting-air-strikes-in-cuba-martha-maccallum-presses-miami-mayor-on-how-us-should-intervene\/\" title=\"\u2018Are You Suggesting Air Strikes In Cuba?\u2019: Martha MacCallum Presses Miami Mayor On How US Should Intervene\">potential military action<\/a> against Iran. Trump indicated that despite military maneuvers and a show of strength, he may still consider diplomatic solutions, emphasizing that negotiations with Iran coudl resume amid ongoing hostilities. The discussion reflects the complexities of U.S. foreign policy in relation to Iran and the internal dynamics within the Trump governance and Congress regarding this sensitive issue.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Gabbard to reschedule Senate Intelligence briefing as Iran conflict escalates<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2152123\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>National Intelligence Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tulsi-gabbard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tulsi Gabbard<\/a>&lsquo;s briefing before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate-intelligence-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Senate Intelligence Committee<\/a> was delayed on Wednesday as President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> weighs his options over the evolving situation in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Trump administration officials and one Capitol Hill aide confirmed to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that Gabbard planned to brief panel members at the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon but had to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-gotta-wear-heels-staffers-describe-the-cuomo-way-of-working-for-nys-governor\/\" title=\"\u2018You Gotta Wear Heels\u2019: Staffers Describe \u2018The Cuomo Way\u2019 Of Working For NY\u2019s Governor\">attend meetings<\/a> at the White House instead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3445938\/bannon-maga-get-on-board-trump-iran-israel-war\/\">Bannon: MAGA will get on board if Trump strikes Iran, but Israel should finish the job<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3446081\/kristi-noem-hospital-discharged-allergic-reaction\/\">Kristi Noem discharged from hospital following emergency admission<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3446017\/no-kings-next-protest-good-trouble-lives-on-july-17\/\">&#8216;No Kings&#8217; organizers plan next protest: &#8216;Good Trouble Lives On&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Office of the Director of National Intelligence spokeswoman Alexa Henning said the office will reschedule the briefing as soon as the committee provides possible dates, as &ldquo;there was a bipartisan agreement to do so given schedules on the Senate side.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A source familiar with the matter told the&nbsp;<em>Washington Examiner&nbsp;<\/em>that the Senate Intelligence Committee, not Gabbard, first requested the rescheduling, saying, &ldquo;At least seven senators wouldn&rsquo;t have been in attendance because they were leaving D.C. before or during.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Senate held its last vote of the week on Wednesday afternoon as Washington takes off for the Thursday Juneteenth holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard was the subject of multiple negative headlines on Tuesday as Trump signaled the United States&rsquo;s possible entry into the conflict between Israel and Iran. During his abrupt trip back to Washington early Tuesday morning, Trump shot down a question regarding Gabbard&rsquo;s March testimony on the timeline for Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t care what she said,&rdquo; Trump testily shot back after being asked about Gabbard saying, &ldquo;Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think that they&rsquo;re very close to having one,&rdquo; Trump continued.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the day, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JenGriffinFNC\/status\/1935020530337284546\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">reported<\/a> that Gabbard was not invited to meetings at Camp David following Israel&rsquo;s first targeted strikes against Iran&rsquo;s nuclear facilities, though Trump administration officials maintain that Gabbard, a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves, was known to have been on duty that weekend.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday night, more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/06\/17\/gabbard-trump-00411685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">reports<\/a> surfaced that Trump was outraged by a video Gabbard posted on June 10&nbsp;in which she said the &ldquo;political elite and warmongers&rdquo; are pushing the world toward &ldquo;nuclear annihilation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>White House officials downplayed any apparent space between Gabbard and Trump. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/andrew-cuomo-hires-defense-lawyer-amid-harassment-nursing-home-probes\/\" title=\"Andrew Cuomo Hires Defense Lawyer Amid Harassment, Nursing Home Probes\">senior aide told<\/a> the&nbsp;<em>Washington Examiner<\/em>&nbsp;that Gabbard has been a constant presence on campus recently, sitting in on meetings with Trump in and outside the Situation Room and working out of the White House rather than ODNI&rsquo;s offices in McLean, Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>One White House official said Tuesday&rsquo;s coverage of Gabbard&rsquo;s March testimony &ldquo;frankly sucks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She said they&rsquo;re not building [a nuclear weapon], but then she goes on to say they&rsquo;re at unprecedented levels of enriched uranium,&rdquo; the aide said. &ldquo;So I feel bad for her, but she has been in the Situation Room every single meeting in the past week.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Upon his Tuesday return to the White House, Trump suggested the U.S. could take significant military action against Iran. In a series of social media posts, he said &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3444404\/trump-iran-total-control-air-space-israel-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">we<\/a>&rdquo; took control of Iranian airspace, that the U.S. knows the secure location of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and could easily &ldquo;kill&rdquo; him if necessary, and called for Iran&rsquo;s &ldquo;unconditional surrender.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, U.S. warplanes did not join Israel in striking Iranian targets Tuesday night, and Trump suggested Wednesday morning that he might still consider negotiating a diplomatic solution with Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t seriously think I&rsquo;m going to answer that question,&rdquo; Trump responded when asked when the U.S. might enter the fray. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t know that I&rsquo;m going to even do it. You don&rsquo;t know. I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I&rsquo;m going to do.
