Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday said she is reducing the Office of Director of National Intelligence staff by more than 40 percent.
The spy agency is expected to go from more than 1,800 employees to approximately 1,200.
“Over the last 20 years, ODNI has become bloated and inefficient, and the intelligence community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized leaks of classified intelligence, and politicized weaponization of intelligence,” Tulsi said in a statement,” according to The New York Post.
“ODNI and the IC must make serious changes to fulfill its responsibility to the American people and the US Constitution by focusing on our core mission: find the truth and provide objective, unbiased, timely intelligence to the President and policymakers,” Tulsi added.
