Trump says he wants his new acting director of national intelligence to cut the office

President Donald Trump has appointed Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence and instructed him to reduce the office's size and workforce. The office has already been scaled back during Trump's second term, with previous cuts of $700 million annually and a 40% workforce reduction under Tulsi Gabbard. Pulte's appointment faces bipartisan Senate resistance, complicating the renewal of a national security surveillance program.
