President Donald Trump has instructed his newly appointed acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte, to cut staff levels, arguing that the office has become too large and contains unnecessary positions.

    1. Because, if he [Pulte] reduced the size, in conjunction with me … and in conjunction with possibly the person coming in … he can do a lot of the hard work and we wouldn't have to saddle somebody that goes in.
    2. Frankly, it might be good for him to shake it up before people come.
    3. He'll do a very good job. He'll watch it closely, but Bill Pulte is very good, he's very talented.
    4. I'd like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn't be there.

    1. The naming of Pulte to that position, although the timing arguably wasn't the best, I still don't think it ought to derail something that's this important.

    1. We have no idea whether the individual even has a security clearance.
