ODNI will reduce its workforce by more than 40% before the end of fiscal year 2025, targeting over $700 million in annual savings. The agency previously had slightly fewer than 2,000 staff and fell to around 1,500 by mid-August, with roughly 200 additional personnel expected to be let go. The restructuring, labeled ODNI 2.0, will eliminate or consolidate programs and components judged redundant or overly partisan. The plan includes refocusing functions within the Foreign Malign Influence Center, the National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center, and the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center. The effort aims to end perceived weaponization of intelligence and restore public trust.
ODNI has become bloated and inefficient, and the intelligence community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized leaks of classified intelligence, and politicized weaponization of intelligence.
Ending the weaponization of intelligence and holding bad actors accountable are essential to begin to earn the American people's trust which has long been eroded.
Under President Trump's leadership, ODNI 2.0 is the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the U.S. Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.
