| CIA and FBI face BLOODBATH as Trump unlocks new loophole to detonate Obama's Deep State |
| 2026-06-06 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump has ordered his incoming director of national intelligence (DNI) to start purging officials from the Obama and Biden administrations. The President told Tulsi Gabbard's replacement, Bill Pulte, that the 18 agencies, including the CIA and FBI, that he now oversees are 'unnecessary and/or too big.' Trump told the Wall Street Journal: 'I'd like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn't be there.' The President told reporters he wants Pulte, a former Florida real estate executive, to 'start the process' of firing people, even though he is only serving on an acting basis. Pulte's extraordinary elevation this week from the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the country's top intelligence official sparked backlash among Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill. But he will avoid a Senate confirmation process by serving in an acting capacity. 'You're less shackled,' Trump said of Pulte's status. 'It sort of gives you more power, you know, for a somewhat limited period of time.' Trump added that he plans for Pulte to make the intelligence purge before he picks a permanent intelligence chief. 'Frankly, it might be good for him to shake it up before people come,' Trump added. '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.' Pulte, in his role, will brief the President on the most classified areas of intelligence and has control of more than $100 billion in annual budget for various agencies. The job also gives Pulte the power to declassify vast numbers of secret documents. Trump told the Wall Street Journal he wants Pulte to release more classified documents related to the 2020 election and his claims of voter fraud. 'I would say everything - he should look at everything and make a determination,' Trump said. Pulte has been angling for the job in recent weeks, following Gabbard's sudden resignation due to her husband's rare bone cancer. He told Trump he would be loyal and would carry out his directives to the intelligence community. It is unclear when Trump's mass firings will occur, or whether they already have. A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said: 'We look forward to working with Mr Pulte and President Trump on additional initiatives to advance savings and root out deep state bad actors.' Trump's DOGE purge strikes back: EIGHT THOUSAND senior federal workers face the chop under sweeping order [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump's purge of the federal bureaucracy escalated Wednesday with an executive order making it easier to fire 8,000 federal workers. The order reclassified the workers as at-will employees, meaning the government can now terminate them without offering a reason. A rule finalized by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) earlier this year established a new category of these workers, known as 'schedule policy/career.' Trump's order Wednesday put those 8,000 workers, generally senior policymakers, into the new category. 'It's been a long-standing problem that it's almost impossible to fire a federal employee, even in cases of serious misconduct,' said James Sherk of the Domestic Policy Council at the public signing of the order. 'And that's a particular problem if you're in a senior policy-influencing role.' The President lauded Sherk as a key architect of the order. 'What this [order] does is basically treat those employees like private sector workers,' Sherk added. Previously, only around 4,000 federal employees could be hired and fired using the at-will procedures. Under the terms of Trump's order, that number triples to 12,000.
