- Tulsi Gabbard — Director of National Intelligence — was grilled for a second day at the House worldwide threats hearing on Iran’s nuclear program.
- John Ratcliffe — CIA Director — testified alongside Gabbard during the hearing.
- FBI — represented by its director (identified only as “Kash…” in the article) — also participated in the hearing.
- Iran — the hearing focused on whether Iran was close to building nuclear weapons and if Tehran posed an imminent threat to the United States before President Trump began the current Middle‑East war.
- House Democrats pressed Gabbard with the question “Why Do You Guys Even Have A Job?” during the session on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
Why it matters: House Democrats gain a public platform to demand accountability from the intelligence community, while the intelligence agency’s credibility is put on trial, potentially reshaping its influence over future policy debates on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and affecting congressional oversight in Washington.
