“It is essential that the rest of the president's cabinet candidates be confirmed as soon as possible,” she added.
Gabbard was sworn in his oval office by Attorney General Pam Bondy. The event took place just after 4pm and Trump was attending the ceremony.
The Senate confirmed Gabbard with a vote of 52-48. The disparity was along the party line, with the exception of former GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell (r-ky.), who opposed her.

“The nation should not need to worry that the intelligence report assessments received by the president are contaminated by the National Intelligence Director, who has a history of surprising lapses in judgment.”
Gabbard faced particular scrutiny over his past meetings with former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, her previous FISA Section 702 stance and past support for NSA whistleblowers Edward Snowden.
