āA Republican senator is proposing a plan to slash the workforce of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, while signs of friction have emerged between President Trump and his intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard.
The legislation proposed by Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas could diminish Gabbardās role within the intelligence bureaucracy, according to NBC News. The ODNI reduction plan comes after Gabbard is reported to have angered Trump during his attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities in Iran.
Cottonās bill, the Intelligence Community Efficiency and Effectiveness Act, proposes to slash ODNIās workforce by 60 percent, from roughly 1,600 to a cap of 650 employees. ODNI, set up in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, oversees all 18 intelligence services in the United States.
The bill would also eliminate the Foreign Malign Influence Centerāthe hub tracking Russian and other foreign interference in the U.S. It would also shift a counterterrorism center to the FBI and hand a biosecurity and proliferation center to the CIA, according to NBC News. Under the legislation, ODNI would also be stripped of its specialized ācentersā altogether, including a climate security advisory council.ā

Republicans are as unfit to govern as Trump
Donāt anger the dictator ā youāll face retribution.
And hobble the intelligence community in the process, jeopardizing the security of the American people, promoting lies and disinformation over facts and the truth.
