Pulte's purge: Acting DNI fires dozens of intelligence officials
Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte has begun a new spate of firings within the ranks of the U.S. intelligence community, MS Now reported on Friday.
Pulte, whom President Donald Trump tapped as acting spy chief in June, sent out notices of termination on Thursday to dozens of intelligence officials, MS Now reported, citing an intelligence official who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.
The intelligence official told MS Now that the Trump administration was removing officials “who they believe are deep state” and who have allegedly failed to provide complete pictures of available intelligence.
The White House and the office of the Director of National Intelligence did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday.
