US Director National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced plans to reduce the intelligence labor by 40%, which, according to her, “did not achieve” fulfillment of her mandate and quoted “abuse of power”. It is expected that the overwork of “ODNI 2.0”, marked as “Odni 2.0”, will save by an estimate of $ 700 million by the end of the fiscal year.
US Chief Intel said that by the end of the fiscal year 2025, the National Intelligence Director (ODNI) will reduce by more than 40%, saving $ 700 million.
In the Gabbard press release, he said, “Over the past 20 years, it has become inflated and ineffective and intelligence community is full of abuse of power, unauthorized leaks of classified intelligence and politicized weapon of intelligence.”
On the social media, Tulsi Gabbard added that “it reduces inflated bureaucracy, rooting deep state actors and restoring the focus of the mission”.
The department’s website, which contains a four -page overview, explains this step for “Odne 2.0”, with plans to reduce its office efforts to oversee biological security, spread weapons of mass destruction, threats of cyber news information and other areas.
“It has been found to violate professional analytical standards of Tradecraft”
While in detail he describes cuts in the strategic futures group, the Gabbard Team Prognosis said that “Tradarraft’s professional analytical standards have been discussed in an effort to propagate the political agenda that was contrary to all the priorities of the National Security President”.
The cuts on the center of foreign malignant influence, created to address foreign threats for democracy and interests of the US, were sometimes justified by accusations against previous democratic administrations.
According to the backup list, there was a reduction because the center “was used by previous administration to justify the suppression of the freedom of expression of the AK censorship of political opposition,” referring to the predecessor of US President Donald Trump Joe Biden.
The main letter also spoke of earlier cuts and said from “Gabbard’s first day, ODNI has already reduced its size by almost 30%, with more than 500 employees now from books.”
In July, Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama of leading the “betrayal of injury” to claim that Russia had intervened in the US elections in favor of Trump.

However, Gabbard’s claims are contrary to the conclusions of four separate investigations – criminals, counterintelligence and guard psog, made between 2019 and 2023, of which it all determined that Russia intervened and supported Trump in several ways.
Gabbard, 43, faced criticism from rivals who claim to be near Russian President Vladimir Putin and expelled Syrian President Bašar Al-Assad.

Cutts exceed the reduction of current agency employees.
According to The New York Times on Tuesday, Gabbard under the leadership of the President, he abolished the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials, many of whom were involved in Russia’s analysis or the solution of foreign threats.
Donald Trump took over the office with pledge to reduce the size of the federal government. Since then, it has significantly reduced US contributions to foreign aid and has reduced the financing of the Ministry of Education, a step that required the approval of the US Supreme Court and other agencies.
