Acting NDI Bill Pulte is on the Job
The President’s acting director of National Intelligence started working early
VERBATIM:
Bill Pulte showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The sources said Pulte is eyeing to cut hundreds of jobs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
Pulte’s appearance at ODNI on Thursday caught staff off-guard, including the outgoing director, Tulsi Gabbard, who was given a brief heads up on the visit. President Trump himself has said that Pulte would start his job on Friday.
