William Pulte, the Acting Director of National Intelligence, announced on Sunday that his office has completed a fourth round of layoffs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The move continues a broader effort to shrink the size of the agency, part of a wider push within the current US administration to reduce the federal workforce and streamline intelligence operations.

Pulte said that since taking on the acting role, his team had been "smartly, and carefully" cutting ODNI's headcount while refocusing the office's work, though the article does not provide further detail on the exact number of staff affected in this latest wave or a breakdown of previous rounds. No further specifics on timing, affected divisions or the agency's future staffing plans were included in the available report.
