Trump's spy chief Gabbard winds down intelligence task force: Reuters
Tulsi Gabbard ends the Director's Initiative Group after less than a year, which examined politicization, spending cuts, and declassification of key intelligence reports.
- On Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ended the Director's Initiative Group after less than a year, saying it was always meant to be temporary as she began overseeing the nation's 18 intelligence agencies.
- Formed in April, the Director's Initiative Group was created to root out what Gabbard called the politicization of intelligence gathering and to study reducing spending and declassifying COVID-19 reports.
- Gabbard's office revoked security clearances for dozens of officials and declassified documents, and in May she fired two top intelligence officials.
- The move returns staff to other agencies as the number and identities of officers assigned to the group remain classified, while the panel's work overlaps with the CIA's COVID origins assessment released last year.
- Many Democrats and intelligence insiders argued the panel risked weakening spy agencies and noted Gabbard's actions blurred lines between foreign intelligence and the FBI .
