“President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of intelligence claimed Thursday at her Senate confirmation hearing that she was not aware ‘until today’ that a prominent cleric she met in Syria had threatened to unleash suicide bombers on the United States and Europe,” the Washington Post reports.

“Documents indicate that Gabbard was told in early 2017 and then attempted to control the negative publicity surrounding her trip.”
