Trump Administration to shorten thousands of jobs from CIA and other spy agencies – report | US messages

The White House is planning to reduce the staff at Central Intelligence Agency by 1,200 positions, while other secret services, including the National Security Agency, will also be handed over thousands of jobs, reported Washington Post.

A person trusted with the plan confirmed the changes to the associated press in the condition of anonymity.

The Trump government told members of the Congress about the planned cuts of the CIA, which take place for several years and are partly achieved by reduced attitudes in contrast to layoffs, the office reported on Friday. The cuts include several hundred people who decided to retire early, it said.

In response to questions about the reductions, the CIA submitted an explanation in which he said that its director John Ratcliffe had worked on organizing the agency with the national security priorities of Donald Trump.

“These steps are part of a holistic strategy in order to put the agency with renewed energy, to give increasing managers the opportunity to appear, and position the CIA better to present its mission,” said the agency in the declaration.

A spokesman for the director of the National Secret Service, Tulsi Gabbard, did not immediately answer a message that requested a comment. Gabard's office monitors and coordinates the work of 18 agencies that collect and analyze intelligence.

The CIA at the beginning of this year was the first US secret service agency to join a voluntary redundancy program initiated by Trump, which swore to radically reduce the Federal Exin in the name of efficiency and framework. The NSA has already offered some employees voluntary resignations.

The CIA has explained that it should also relieve an unknown number of recently hired employees.

The Trump administration has also eliminated the diversity, equity and inclusion programs for secret services, although a judge has temporarily blocked the efforts to relieve 19 employees on Dei programs that questioned their dismissals.

Trump also fire abruptly the General, who listed the NSA and the cyber command of Pentagon, Tim Hagh.

Ratcliffe swore to revise the CIA and said he wanted to increase the use of intelligence by the agency from human sources and its focus on China.
