Wall Street Journal: Donald Trump to Overhaul Intelligence Agencies

HeadlineJan 05, 2017

Donald Trump’s team is planning an overhaul of the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. That’s according to The Wall Street Journal, which reported Wednesday the changes are aimed at limiting the power of the spy agencies. The plan includes cuts to CIA staffing at its Virginia headquarters, while moving more employees to field operations. The move comes after Trump repeatedly mocked the CIA over its assessment that Russian hackers infiltrated the Democratic National Committee and leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign adviser, John Podesta, in a bid to help Trump win the presidency.
