Details: In a statement, Trump said Gabbard had fought for the United States and the freedoms of all Americans.

Gabbard was formerly a Democratic Congresswoman.

In 2022, the Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine's NSDC warned that Gabbard had been paid by the Kremlin to work on a foreign audience for several years.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale war, the politician has declared that "the United States is guilty of military aggression" against Russia, having "provoked" the Russians for many years, and has claimed that the ruling Washington elite wants to use Ukrainians to kill as many Russians as possible.

Gabbard has also spread disinformation globally about weapons of mass destruction allegedly being developed in Ukrainian biolabs.
