Fox News’ chief national security correspondent on Monday questioned the validity of former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as President-elect Donald Trump’s potential director of national intelligence, Mediaite reports.
Jennifer Griffin wrote via X: “Tulsi Gabbard’s long involvement with the Science of Identity Foundation raises questions about the judgment and autonomy needed to advise the president on national security – Hawaii reporter looks at Gabbard’s ties to group that many classify as a cult.”
The top Fox News correspondent shared a link to an article written by Honolulu Civil Beat’s Washington correspondent, Nick Grube.

Grube reported last week that Anita van Duyn — “a former member of a secretive Hawaiʻi religious sect” — said Gabbard “spent 15 years inside the Science of Identity Foundation, a fringe offshoot of Hare Krishna that was formed in the 1970s and has been described by defectors as a cult.”
Per the report, Van Duyn notified Democratic lawmakers by sending letters to Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-WI), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), “detailing Gabbard’s deep ties to the organization and its reclusive founder, Chris Butler, who still resides in a multimillion-dollar beachfront home in Kailua.”
