Workforce cuts at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence began Monday, a senior White House official told MS NOW, following plans by the office’s acting director to reduce staffing across the agency.

The source was granted anonymity to discuss internal administration planning.

In his June 10 announcement on Truth Social naming Bill Pulte as his pick to serve as acting director, President Donald Trump said he directed Pulte to “execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office” and return some personnel to their home agencies.

Pulte, who oversees the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies in the acting role, assumed the position last week. CNN was the first to report the firings.
