Gabbard shares emotional update on husband’s cancer months after White House exit

Gabbard said doctors removed the rare tumor in an eight-hour operation, and her husband now needs frequent MRI scans to monitor for recurrence.

  • On Thursday, former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shared a video update stating her husband, Abraham Williams, is recovering well following surgery for a rare tailbone cancer.
  • Gabbard resigned as Director of National Intelligence earlier this year to care for Abraham after he was diagnosed with bone cancer, writing she could not ask him to face the fight alone.
  • Following an eight-hour surgery to remove the tumor, doctors said they removed all cancerous tissue; Abraham continues rigorous physical therapy and requires frequent MRIs to monitor for recurrence.
  • President Trump initially nominated Bill Pulte as her replacement, but an uproar on Capitol Hill among Democrats led to Jay Clayton, who was subsequently confirmed by the Senate.
  • Under Gabbard, ODNI reduced or reassigned 40% of staff through the 'ODNI 2.0' initiative, consolidating offices and analytic functions to streamline agency operations.
