ODNI Cuts Hit Another 30 Percent | Charleston News
Description
Acting Director Bill Pulte just announced the fifth and possibly final round of ODNI layoffs, slashing staff by 30% since he took charge in June — a move he frames as essential to protecting Americans from “political whims of the bloated and corrupt elite.” These cuts echo Tulsi Gabbard’s earlier “ODNI 2.0” overhaul, which promised $700M in annual savings by cutting 40% of the agency. While Congress broadly agrees the agency is too big, some lawmakers warn the downsizing could undermine national security. The announcement comes just hours before Jay Clayton’s Senate confirmation, raising questions about how the agency’s future will unfold under new leadership.
