Summary

  • Abraham Williams is recovering at home after nearly seven hours of surgery for a very rare sacral chordoma, a cancerous bone tumor at the base of the spine, Gabbard said Thursday.
  • The post disclosed the precise diagnosis for the first time and said recovery is just beginning after a painful first night following what Gabbard called a successful operation.
  • June 30 is set to be Gabbard's last day as director of national intelligence after she told President Donald Trump in mid-May she would resign to support her husband through treatment.
  • Bill Pulte was named acting DNI on Tuesday, while Trump said Gabbard was right to step down and focus on her husband's battle with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.
