Donald Trump has ordered his incoming director of national intelligence (DNI) to start purging officials from the Obama and Biden administrations.
The President told Tulsi Gabbard’s replacement, Bill Pulte, that the 18 agencies, including the CIA and FBI, that he now oversees are ‘unnecessary and/or too big.’
Trump told the Wall Street Journal: ‘I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there.’
The President told reporters he wants Pulte, a former Florida real estate executive, to ‘start the process’ of firing people, even though he is only serving on an acting basis.
