Acting Director of National Intelligence William Pulte announced Sunday that his office has completed a fourth batch of layoffs. "Since becoming Acting Director of National Intelligence, our team has been smartly, and carefully, reducing the size of [the Office of the Director of National Intelligence], re-focusing ODNI on national security, the law, and the statute," he wrote in a post on X. President Donald Trump chose Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to serve as acting DNI as well. Trump later announced U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton as his nominee for the DNI role.
