Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte announced that the leadership transition at the office will begin Monday, following discussions with President Trump and Jay Clayton, Pulte’s successor.
Transition Details
Pulte expressed gratitude to President Trump for the opportunity to serve as Director of National Intelligence, citing historic declassifications and right-sizing of the ODNI. He also praised Clayton, offering his complete support during the transition.
Clayton, confirmed by the Senate earlier this week, is expected to be sworn in next week. He will inherit an office with diminished authority and relevance, following sharp staffing cuts made by Pulte.
