The ODNI just announced its fifth round of layoffs, slashing staff by about 30% since Acting Director Bill Pulte took over in June — a move he says is likely the final wave of cuts in a broader restructuring effort. This follows the confirmation of Jay Clayton as the new director and echoes similar cuts initiated by his predecessor, Tulsi Gabbard, under “ODNI 2.0,” aimed at saving taxpayer money. While lawmakers broadly agree the agency may be too large, they’re split on the approach: some, like Senator Tom Cotton, argue it’s too bureaucratic, while others, like Rep. Jim Himes, fear mass firings could weaken national security and embolden criminals. With Clayton now in charge, the long-term impact on U.S. intelligence operations remains uncertain.
