During the night, a "mini-drama" happened in the Trump administration and conservative groups as DNI Tusli Gabbard wanted to appoint Daniel Davis as her second-in-command.
The DNI has since then relented, but this mini-drama may have even more dramatic results as Gabbard herself comes under scrutiny.
So - who exactly is Daniel Davis?
Daniel Davis, a senior fellow at the isolationist Defense Priorities think tank, has been appointed as deputy director of national intelligence, according to three sources familiar with the selection. Davis, a retired military officer with a long record of criticizing U.S. and Israeli policy, has described Washington’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza as both a moral and strategic mistake.
