Trump ally to helm U.S. intelligence oversight, stoking politicization concerns

TL;DR Summary
Bill Pulte, a Trump ally, is slated to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, raising concerns that the DNI could be used to advance a political agenda amid questions about his national-security experience. The ODNI coordinates 18 agencies and has broad access to information from the FBI, CIA, DHS and even commercially sourced data, which critics say heightens privacy risks, even as a framework is in place to address them. White House supporters argue the appointment brings professional leadership to the role.
