The creation of this department and its mission was to coordinate intelligence agencies and make sure it is timely, critical and unbiased. She stated it it bloated with redundancy and getting in the way of the mission it was borne to do.
First I hope she is not cutting important areas but of all his administration I probably trust her the most to make the right decision, since she is also a victim ans a military volunteer.
With $300B+ tariffs coming into the U.S yearly and cuts, perhaps Trump can balance the budget before he is out of office.
WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — The Office of the Director of National Intelligence will dramatically reduce its workforce by 30% to 40% and cut its budget by more than $700 million annually as part of a “ODNI 2.0” restructuring initiative, senior intelligence officials tell NewsNation.
The changes, which take effect Sept. 30, are the most significant overhaul of ODNI since its creation two decades ago, officials tell NewsNation.
“A new day for ODNI,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in a statement announcing the restructuring. “We are here to serve a purpose that is greater than any of us as individuals.”
Officials described the initiative as reducing bureaucratic “bloat” while maintaining the agency’s core mission. They told NewsNation ODNI had remained largely unchanged for 20 years despite evolving national security challenges.
Senior intelligence officials who conducted a monthslong review of the agency briefed President Donald Trump on the findings two weeks ago. The restructuring was developed in coordination with the White House as part of broader federal cost-cutting efforts.
Affected personnel will be notified Wednesday and will either be terminated or repositioned to other agencies, including the CIA.
The initiative has already reduced ODNI’s size by nearly 30%, with more than 500 staffers “now off the books,” officials said.
Gabbard said in the statement the agency is “committed to supporting you through this process with options and resources to aid your next steps.”
“We stand at a crossroads,” Gabbard said.
