ODNI to shrink by 40 percent

On August 20, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard announced a transformation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to refocus on executing its core national security mission. The transformation will reduce ODNI by over 40% by the end of fiscal year 2025.

DNA Gabbard issued the following statement with the announcement:

“Over the last 20 years, ODNI has become bloated and inefficient, and the intelligence community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized leaks of classified intelligence, and politicized weaponization of intelligence. ODNI and the IC must make serious changes to fulfill its responsibility to the American people and the U.S. Constitution by focusing on our core mission: find the truth and provide objective, unbiased, timely intelligence to the President and policymakers. Ending the weaponization of intelligence and holding bad actors accountable are essential to begin to earn the American people’s trust which has long been eroded. Under President Trump’s leadership, ODNI 2.0 is the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the U.S. Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.”
