Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine announced Monday that she will back President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard.

“After careful consideration of her nomination, I have decided to support Tulsi Gabbard for the role of Director of National Intelligence,” Collins said in a statement. “As one of the primary architects of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which created this coordinating position, I fully appreciate the vital role the DNI plays in overseeing our intelligence community.”

Collins emphasized a shared perspective with Gabbard regarding the scope of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
