Pulte Begins Spy Agency Cuts, Though Fewer Than Feared

“The new acting director of national intelligence has begun cutting staff days into his new role, but the initial round will be smaller than some officials and members of Congress expected,” the New York Times reports.

“Bill Pulte, who was installed in the position on Friday, has fired six intelligence officials, including career officers and political appointees. Another 45 officers from other spy agencies who had been lent to the office were sent back to their home agencies.”
