Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard reverses stance on surveillance tool to gain support for DNI role.

Tulsi Gabbard, nominated as Director of National Intelligence, has reversed her stance to support Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a controversial surveillance tool she previously opposed.

Gabbard's shift aims to secure Republican support for her confirmation, as she faces opposition despite needing bipartisan backing.
