Telsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, has resigned, saying she's leaving at the
“end of June because her husband has a rare bone cancer.”
Gabbard, a vet and former Democratic congresswoman, is a long-time critic of foreign intervention and seems to have broken with President Trump over his war in Iran. Homeless security secretary Kristi Nome, attorney general Pam Bondi and labor secretary Laurie Chavez-Deremer, have also left. Two Democratic senators are demanding answers from the Treasury Department about the
decision to settle a case over the leak of President Trump's tax returns. And here's Kerry Johnson, has more. Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Ron Wein of Oregon are writing officials of the Treasury Department to get more detail about what they call in-out "regisely"
corrupt deal that creates a nearly $2 billion tax-payer fund that could compensate
January 6 rioters and other Trump allies. The senators want the inspector general for tax administration to probe whether any laws have been broken, that bar political interference in the audit work of the IRS.
“Acting attorney general Todd Blanch is defending the settlement, asserting Trump and his”
family will not receive any direct financial benefit. But the deal also seems to shield Trump from any legal problems over his past tax returns. Kerry Johnson and PR News, Washington. President Trump says the U.S. military will deploy in additional 5,000 troops to Poland and a parent reversal of his moves to reduce the number of American forces in Europe.
And here's Rob Schmitz, has more. President Trump made the announcement in a social media post, suggesting the troop deployment is connected to the election last year of nationalist president Carol Novrovsky.

It comes weeks after his administration said it would withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany.
