The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday voted to favorably report the nomination of former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence. Gabbard advanced in a 9-8 vote.

Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) told the nominee at one point that “it would befit you and be helpful for the way you’re perceived by members of the Intelligence Committee” to acknowledge that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden harmed national security.

Gabbard had faced pointed questions from some Republican senators about her stances on Edward Snowden and surveillance authorities.
