Bill Pulte, President Donald Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence, began large-scale staff cuts at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Monday, according to sources cited by CNN and NBC News. A source familiar with the matter said, “The deep state firings have begun,” while declining to specify how many employees had been dismissed or reassigned. The move came just days after Pulte took over the role and followed earlier reporting that he was considering hundreds of job cuts as part of Trump’s push to shrink federal intelligence agencies. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
