(WND)—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI.
According to a report by Fox News Digital, whistleblowers have described some members of the Council as “radically opposed” to President Trump.
Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, on Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.
Collins has elicited whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and “deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration,” officials told Fox. They added that Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials.
The report notes that Langan-Reikhof has been a “key advocate” for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, which contravene Trump policies.
Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to her office to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital reported.
Many intel community leakers are “career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics,” officials said.
“It takes time to weed them out and fire them,” one official told Fox News, adding that “plans to eliminate non-essential offices within ODNI that we know are housing deep state leakers are underway.”
The moves come as Gabbard has taken steps to root out leakers and alleged “deep state holdovers” who officials say are politicizing intelligence analysis and “trying to sabotage President Trump’s agenda.”

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
Great news!
But the correct nomanclature would be, anti-American!!! Amen
Not anti-trump.
