WATCH: Sen. Warner says Gabbard omitted details in testimony that “contradict” Trump on Iran

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., questioned Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about omitting details in her opening statement that “contradict the president” on Iran. Warner said Gabbard omitted a section from her oral opening statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee that discusses how Iran’s nuclear program was obliterated after Operation Midnight Hammer last year. “You chose to omit the parts that contradict the president,” Warner said. Gabbard said she skipped through parts of her statement because “time was running long.” Top U.S. intelligence officials were testifying Wednesday before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at an open hearing on worldwide threats. It’s the first of two days of hearings on Capitol Hill surrounding the intelligence community’s release of its annual assessment of threats to national security. The Senate hearing comes a day after National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigned over President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Kent, a former Green Beret and CIA official known for his past ties to right-wing extremists, said in a statement Tuesday that Iran “posed no imminent threat” to the U.S. and he could not “in good conscience” support the war.
