Bill Pulte has officially assumed his duties as the acting Director of National Intelligence. Reports indicate that Pulte arrived early for his first day in the critical intelligence role, which he took over after being appointed by President Trump.
Upon taking office, Pulte is reportedly seeking significant reductions within the intelligence community, including plans to dismiss hundreds of staff members. This move comes as Pulte is set to gain access to U.S. intelligence, despite earlier congressional efforts to prevent it.
The new acting DNI's actions mark a swift start to his tenure. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
