U.S. Intel Chief Fires National Intelligence Council officials
(MENAFN) U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, has reportedly dismissed the leading figures at the National Intelligence Council, based on various media outlets' reports from Tuesday.
Among those let go were Mike Collins, who was holding the position of acting chairman, and his second-in-command, Maria Langan-Riekhof.
In addition to these removals, Gabbard relocated the council’s operations under the umbrella of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
This strategic adjustment was intended to give her greater oversight and prevent any potential "politicization of intelligence," as stated by a news agency.
According to the media, an ODNI representative explained, "The director is working alongside President (Donald) Trump to end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community.”
This move underscores a broader initiative to eliminate perceived misuse of intelligence resources for political purposes.
