Senate Republicans look to limit the size of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence

Senate Republicans want to limit the size of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. A new bill led by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton would cap ODNI at 650 full-time staff. ODNI started out the year with roughly 1,800 employees. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she has already reduced ODNI’s staff by roughly 25% since then. Cotton’s legislation would deepen the cuts by eliminating several ODNI organizations including the National Counterintelligence and Security Center and the National Intelligence University. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
