ODNI Downsizing Kicks Off as Firing Wave Expands Under Acting Director
TL;DR
Firing waves have begun at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as acting DNI Bill Pulte moves to downsizing, following President Trump’s push to cut hundreds of ODNI staff. The cuts are expected to hit units like the National Counterterrorism Center and the National Counterintelligence and Security Center. Democrats on the Senate and House Intelligence Committees warned the reductions could jeopardize the post-9/11 mission, while a White House official tied the action to Trump’s Truth Social post urging downsizing.
