Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced Monday that she will support Tulsi Gabbard to become director of national intelligence (DNI), giving her a key boost in her confirmation push. Collins

Based on a dossier financed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Gabbard accused intelligence agencies of abusing their power, citing the FBI’s misuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to spy on Carter Page, a Trump campaign aide.

The support comes as the Senate Intelligence Committee is set to meet on Tuesday to discuss potentially advancing Gabbard to a floor vote, where she would need the majority of the Senate to confirm her.
