Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), has announced a major restructuring of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), cutting its workforce by over 40% by October 1, 2025. This downsizing will reduce staff from approximately 1,800 to 1,300 employees and consolidate several intelligence centers, including FMIC, NCBC, CTIIC, and NationalIntelU. The initiative, dubbed "ODNI 2.0," aims to refocus the agency on its core national security mission and eliminate inefficiencies. The restructuring is expected to save taxpayers more than $700 million annually. Gabbard described the ODNI as bloated and oversized, emphasizing that the overhaul is the first major reform since the office's creation after the 9/11 attacks. The cuts come amid efforts to end the politicization and weaponization of intelligence and align the agency more closely with pro-America objectives. This move is part of broader Trump administration changes within the intelligence community.
