ODNI Downsizes Again Amid Political Push | Wilmington News
Description
Acting DNI William Pulte just announced a brutal 30% staff cut — the fifth round since he took the reins — to slash bloated bureaucracy and refocus the intelligence community on real national security, not political theater. With three prior waves already under his belt, Pulte’s moves align with Trump’s long-held view that the ODNI is “unnecessary and/or too big.” As career officers return to their home agencies and front-office roles vanish, Senate confirmation of Jay Clayton looms — all part of a sweeping effort to shrink, streamline, and retool the nation’s spy apparatus.
