一位知情消息人士告诉CNN，总统唐纳德·特朗普的代理国家情报总监此前一直在考虑对其所在办公室实施大规模裁员，该计划已于周一启动。
“‘深层政府’裁员已经开始，”该消息人士表示，但拒绝透露已裁员的具体人数。
此前有消息人士告诉CNN，特朗普提名的代理国家情报总监比尔·普尔蒂正考虑在国家情报总监办公室（ODNI）裁撤数百个岗位。消息人士称，上周普尔蒂提前一天到岗履职，此前他曾要求获取该办公室所有员工的名单，这一举动甚至让即将卸任的总监图尔西·加巴德措手不及。
一位知情消息人士告诉CNN，国家反恐中心（NCTC）和国家反情报与安全中心预计将在此次裁员中受到重创。
据两位知情消息人士透露，所有部门均被要求在周一之前提交一份按优先级排序的人员名单，他们将这一要求与普尔蒂执行大规模裁员的指令联系起来。
此次裁员启动之际，参众两院情报委员会的民主党高层已于周一致信普尔蒂，警告他大幅裁员可能带来的风险。
参议员马克·华纳与众议员吉姆·海姆斯写道：“我们担忧有报道称，你打算最快在本周解雇或将数百名国家情报总监办公室（ODNI）职员停职。”
“虽然我们可以考虑对ODNI的人员编制进行负责任的精简，但任何大规模裁员都将是在2025年已完成大幅精简的基础上进行，可能会危及这个专门在9·11事件后设立、旨在防范未来此类恐怖袭击的机构的使命。”议员们写道。
他们继续说道：“考虑到你在情报界缺乏相关工作经验，很难想象你能在如此短的时间内形成全面且知情的观点，知道如何在不危及国家安全的情况下精简ODNI的规模。对ODNI进行重大结构调整，包括裁员，对于任何代理职位的人员来说都不是合适的行动方针，更不用说在未与国会协商的情况下了，你应当避免采取此类行动。”
当被问及裁员事宜时，一位白宫官员援引了特朗普近日在Truth Social平台上的发帖，他在帖中透露了对该办公室进行“精简”的计划。
“我已任命威廉·普尔蒂为代理国家情报总监，他将于6月19日就职，并已要求他立即推进对该办公室必要的精简工作，将员工遣返回他们的原所属机构，”特朗普写道。
CNN已联系ODNI征求置评。
周一特朗普在椭圆形办公室签署行政命令时，普尔蒂也在场。上周他提前一天到岗后，曾与律师和工作人员会面。
作为国家情报总监，普尔蒂负责监管18个情报机构。他的任命惹恼了特朗普的一些亲密顾问和盟友，并在国会山引发了强烈不满，议员们曾竞相推动确认现任曼哈顿联邦检察官杰伊·克莱顿正式出任该职位，但特朗普突然终止了克莱顿的确认听证程序。
特朗普此前曾表示，仅会让普尔蒂临时担任这一职务，但目前尚不清楚这一临时任期会持续多久。加巴德在任期间曾利用该职位搜寻特朗普输掉的2020年大选存在选民欺诈的证据，一些人担心普尔蒂会加剧此类行动。
加巴德在任时，弗吉尼亚州北部的DNI办公室走廊里挂满了她的照片。两位消息人士告诉CNN，截至周一，所有这些照片都已被移除。这些照片由她的摄影师丈夫拍摄。

Firings now underway at Office of Director of National Intelligence, source says
2026-06-22T21:32:50.072Z / CNN
- Firings have begun at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, a source tells CNN.
- Bill Pulte, the acting director of national intelligence, had been considering cutting jobs after Trump asked him to downsize the office and revert staff to home agencies.
- Top Democrats warned the cuts risk jeopardizing an organization created after 9/11 to prevent future terrorist attacks.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
The large-scale cuts that President Donald Trump’s acting director of national intelligence had been considering imposing at his own office started on Monday, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
“The deep state firings have begun,” the source said, declining to give details on how many jobs had been cut.
Sources had previously told CNN that Bill Pulte, Trump’s pick to serve as director of national intelligence in an acting capacity, was looking at cutting hundreds of jobs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Last week, Pulte showed up to his new job a day early after asking for a list of every employee in the office, sources told CNN, catching even outgoing director Tulsi Gabbard off-guard.
A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and the National Counterintelligence and Security Center were expected to be hit hard by the cuts.
All offices were asked to provide a list ranking their personnel by Monday, according to two sources familiar with the matter, who associated the request with Pulte’s mandate to carry out mass firings.
The firings came as top Democrats on the Senate and House Intelligence Committees sent a letter on Monday to Pulte warning him of the risks of making large cuts to the workforce.
Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Himes wrote, “We are concerned by reports that you intend to fire or place on leave hundreds of Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) officers as soon as this week.”
“While there is room to consider responsible reductions to ODNI’s workforce, any large cuts would follow on a substantial downsizing that has already occurred in 2025 and risk jeopardizing the mission of an organization explicitly created after 9/11 to prevent any future such terrorist attack,” the lawmakers wrote.
They continued, “Given your lack of experience within the Intelligence Community, it is difficult to imagine that in such a short amount of time you have already developed fully informed views as to how to shrink ODNI without incurring risks to national security. Making significant structural changes to ODNI, to include a reduction in force, is not an appropriate course of action for anyone in an acting capacity, let alone without consultation with Congress, and you should refrain from doing so.”
When asked about the firings, a White House official pointed to Trump’s recent post on Truth Social in which he telegraphed “downsizing” in the office.
“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,” Trump wrote.
CNN has reached out to ODNI for comment.
Pulte was in the Oval Office as Trump signed executive orders on Monday. When he showed up to work a day early last week, he met with lawyers and staffers.
As director of national intelligence, Pulte oversees 18 intelligence agencies. His appointment irked some of Trump’s closest advisers and allies and caused significant consternation on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers raced to try to confirm Jay Clayton, now the US attorney in Manhattan, to the position permanently, only to have Trump abruptly end Clayton’s participation in a confirmation hearing.
Trump has previously said he wanted Pulte in the role only temporarily, but it is unclear how long that might be. Gabbard had used the post in part to hunt for evidence of voter fraud around the 2020 election that Trump lost, and some fear Pulte will escalate those efforts.
When she served in the post, Gabbard had dozens of photos of herself posted throughout the corridors of the DNI offices in northern Virginia. Two sources told CNN those photos had all been removed as of Monday. The photos were shot by her husband, who is a photographer.
