The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as director of national intelligence in a 51-47 vote Tuesday night, making him the permanent successor after Tulsi Gabbard resigned while her husband battles cancer. Hours before the vote, acting DNI Bill Pulte said ODNI was carrying out a fifth and near-final round of terminations, amounting to an approximately 30% staff reduction from weeks earlier. Pulte said the cuts accompanied recent declassifications and that the intelligence community should focus on protecting Americans rather than politics.
