代理国家情报总监威廉·普尔蒂宣布进行第五轮机构精简。
“好消息！除了总统此前进行的历史性解密（透明化举措！）之外，我们今天上午还将执行第五轮也是接近收尾阶段的裁员，较几周前裁员比例约达30%，”他在周二的X平台帖子中写道。
“情报界必须保护美国人民，而非臃肿腐败的精英阶层的政治心血来潮，”他补充道。

普尔蒂周日宣布完成国家情报总监办公室（ODNI）的第四批裁员。
“自担任代理国家情报总监以来，我们团队一直在明智且审慎地缩减ODNI的规模，将其工作重心重新聚焦于国家安全、法律和法规。截至今晚，我们刚刚完成第四轮深思熟虑、稳妥有序的裁员。谢谢大家！”他在周日晚间的X平台帖子中宣布。
在7月10日的一篇帖子中，他曾表示：“美国国家情报工作比以往任何时候都更高效、更有力，今天我们启动了第三轮精简冗余或非关键人员的工作。国家情报总监办公室的未来格外光明，将专注于遵守法律和法规。”
普尔蒂是联邦住房金融局局长，上月因图尔西·加巴德因丈夫抗癌而离职，他接任代理国家情报总监一职。

阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿上月在参议院 floor 演讲中表示，他已与代理国家情报总监沟通，对方同意“我们需要将ODNI恢复到最初的规模、范围和使命，剥离部分功能性……中心，将被借调到这里的情报官员送回原所属机构，让他们能够开展真正的情报工作”。
“他告诉我，确实有一小部分前台办公室人员即将离职，这在高级领导离职或新领导上任时并不罕见，”科顿说。“他还表示，约有四五十名职业官员将返回各自的原所属机构。”

Acting Director of National Intelligence William Pulte has announced a fifth wave of office downsizing.
“Good News! In addition to the Historic DECLASSIFICATIONS (Transparency!) by the President, we are, this morning, Executing a 5th and Near Final Round of TERMINATIONS, an approximately 30% Staff Reduction from Weeks Ago,” he wrote in a Tuesday post on X.
“The Intelligence Community must protect the American people, NOT the political whims of the bloated and corrupt elite class,” he added.

Pulte on Sunday had announced the completion of a fourth batch of layoffs from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
“Since becoming Acting Director of National Intelligence, our team has been smartly, and carefully, reducing the size of ODNI, re-focusing ODNI on national security, the law, and the statute. As of this evening, we just finished a 4th round of thoughtful, measured layoffs. Thank you!” he declared in a Sunday night post on X.
In a July 10 post, he had stated, “U.S. National Intelligence is operating more efficiently and effectively than ever before, and today, we started a third round of reducing redundant, or non-critical, personnel. DNI’s future is exceptionally bright, and will be focused on following the law and the statute.”
Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, took on the role of acting DNI last month as Tulsi Gabbard, who had been serving as DNI, departed the role due to her husband’s cancer battle.

Prior to when Pulte took the helm at ODNI last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that during an interview, President Donald Trump said he had informed Pulte that he thought the ODNI was “unnecessary and/or too big.”
“I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” the president said, pointing to Obama and Biden administration carryovers, according to the Journal. Asked if he was calling on Pulte to terminate workers, the president stated that he wanted Pulte to “start the process,” noting that the eventual DNI nominee should carry on that effort, the outlet reported.
In part of a June Truth Social post, Trump declared, “I have named William Pulte to be Acting Director of National Intelligence, who will take over on June 19th, and have asked him to execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office, reverting staff to their home agencies.”
Fox News Digital reached out to ODNI on Tuesday asking for clarification on the reported 30% staffing reduction.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said during a Senate floor speech last month that he had spoken with the acting DNI, who he says agreed “that we need to return the ODNI to its original size, scope, and mission by spinning off some of these functional… centers and sending intelligence officers who have been detailed there back to their home agencies so they can do actual intelligence work.”
“He informed me that yes, a small handful of front office personnel are leaving federal employment, which is not at all uncommon when a senior leader leaves an agency or one comes into an agency,” Cotton said. “He also said that a few dozen, around 45 or 50, career officers are, in fact, returning to their home agencies.”
Trump last month announced that he was tapping U.S. District Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton as his DNI nominee.
The Senate is slated to vote on confirming Clayton on Tuesday night.
