Presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard declined Sunday to say whether Syrian President Bashar Assad is a war criminal, and did not answer whether she would trust her own intelligence community if elected commander in chief.
Gabbard previously said she was "skeptical" that Assad’s government perpetrated a chemical weapons attack in April 2017 that killed dozens of Syrians, although the Defense Department and the United Nations found that his regime was responsible for the slaughter.

And when pressed on whether she would accept the conclusions of America’s intelligence agencies as president, Gabbard demurred: “Like I said, we have, in our recent past, a situation where our own government told lies to the American people, and to the United Nations for that matter, to launch a war.”
