New Trump appointee fires several office of director of national intelligence staff – report

Several staff members have been fired from the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), according to multiple outlets. These firings occurred less than a week after Bill Pulte was appointed acting director by Donald Trump, following Tulsi Gabbard's departure from the post in late May. CNN reported that political appointees with connections to Gabbard were among those dismissed. ABC News indicated that significant cuts were anticipated at the National Counterterrorism Center. The exact number of individuals affected by these firings has not yet been disclosed, but reports suggest that the changes are substantial.
