Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made significant waves in recent days with several high-profile decisions aimed at restructuring the intelligence community under the Trump administration.

On Tuesday, Gabbard dismissed top officials overseeing the National Intelligence Council, including acting chair Mike Collins and his deputy. According to senior intelligence sources, this move was prompted by whistleblower allegations that these officials were "strongly opposed to Trump" and accusations that Collins was "deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration." The terminations are part of Gabbard's broader effort to address what she characterizes as "politicization of intelligence."

As the Trump administration marks its first 100 days, Gabbard has established a new task force called the Director's Initiatives Group (DIG) focused on restoring transparency and accountability to the Intelligence Community. The group is executing presidential Executive Orders aimed at rebuilding public trust, investigating alleged weaponization of intelligence, addressing politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified information, and declassifying information deemed in the public interest.

In line with President Trump's directives, Gabbard has eliminated diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the Office of Director of National Intelligence, a move the administration claims will save taxpayers millions of dollars. She has also revoked security clearances for individuals accused of abusing public trust for political purposes.

The ODNI website was reportedly taken offline over the weekend, raising questions about access to previously published intelligence reports on topics ranging from COVID-19 origins to election security and unidentified anomalous phenomena investigations.

Gabbard, a former Hawaii Representative, was confirmed by the Senate in February in a narrow 52-48 vote. Her appointment has not been without controversy; she faced criticism during confirmation hearings regarding her past positions on Edward Snowden and her perceived stance on autocratic leaders like Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad.

Earlier this year, Gabbard appeared before the House Intelligence Committee alongside CIA Director John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Kash Patel following an incident where sensitive intelligence related to airstrikes in Yemen was unintentionally shared with the Editor in Chief of The Atlantic in a Signal chat group.

Intelligence community observers note that Gabbard faces significant human capital challenges as she reshapes the IC, with experts warning that neglecting the development of experienced intelligence officers could have long-term consequences for national security capabilities.
