I just walked out of @ODNIgov HQ for the last time. Thank you President Trump - I remain grateful for the profound honor of serving the American people and our nation as the Director of National Intelligence. @DNIGabbard, out.

🚨 JUST IN: After FIRING roughly 1/3rd of the ODNI office, acting Director Bill Pulte is transitioning his office to now-confirmed DNI Jay Clayton on Monday PULTE IS A PATRIOT! 🇺🇸 “After speaking with the President Trump and Jay Clayton, we have decided the DNI transition will take place this coming Monday.” “I am eternally grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to serve as Director of National Intelligence, while he completed historic declassifications and we right sized the ODNI. I have no doubt that Jay will do a tremendous job. I have offered Jay my complete and total support as he transitions to take over this incredible agency!”

It was great to welcome my friend @SecMullinDHS to @ODNIgov headquarters where he was briefed on our mission and joint efforts with the Department of Homeland Security. We served together in Congress, and I’m looking forward to serving together again to carry out @POTUS' priorities and keep the American people safe.

Federal agencies must root out the corruption that came before them and restore transparency. SLF is calling on the FBI, CIA, and ODNI to provide answers to the American people.

After speaking with the President Trump and Jay Clayton, we have decided the DNI transition will take place this coming Monday. I am eternally grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to serve as Director of National Intelligence, while he completed historic declassifications and we right sized the ODNI. I have no doubt that Jay will do a tremendous job. I have offered Jay my complete and total support as he transitions to take over this incredible agency!

Newly declassified emails show the NSA deliberately filtered intelligence about Chinese election targeting from President Trump's Presidential Daily Brief in 2020. One November 19, 2020 NSA email reveals the agency "deliberately massaged" a pending briefing to avoid direct links to the election, and split a major pending report on Chinese election influence into 13 delayed pieces. Broader declassifications from ODNI confirm IC analysts took steps to de-emphasize or delay China-related election intelligence from reaching the president, including concerns over voter-registration database access in multiple states. Whether you think China's activity rose to the level of direct interference or stopped at influence operations, the fact that intelligence agencies were actively restructuring and delaying what the president was allowed to see about foreign election targeting is a story in itself. The question isn't just what China did or didn't do. It's who decided the president didn't need to know about it, and why.

Behind every great leader is often a quiet source of strength, and for DNI @TulsiGabbard, it's evident that's Abe. Together, they brought heart, hope, and historic change to @ODNIgov. Though we'll miss seeing them around Liberty Crossing, we're grateful for the example they've set and the kindness they've shared. As Abe faces this battle, we join together in praying for his strength and recovery, and for DNI @TulsiGabbard as she stands by his side.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Opposing the Clarity Act because digital assets have been used for fraud is shortsighted and intellectually dishonest. Every medium of exchange (e.g. cash, checks, wires, ACH, and credit cards) has been used for fraud. What stops fraud is giving law enforcement the tools, resources, and legal clarity to go after criminals. I say this as someone who has worked directly with local law enforcement, Secret Service, FBI, and DOJ to go after criminals. The Clarity Act contains explicit mandates designed to combat financial crime, strengthen anti-money laundering enforcement, and enhance law enforcement collaboration. Section 201 — BSA & Sanctions Compliance for Digital Commodity Entities: Formally brings digital commodity brokers, dealers, and exchanges under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and OFAC sanctions rules. Entities must build formal AML/CFT programs, designate compliance officers, conduct independent audits, and file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) with FinCEN. Section 202 — Risk-Based Examination Standards: Mandates that Treasury and federal regulators establish tailored, risk-based examination standards to audit the adequacy of reporting obligations, customer verification, and AML/CFT programs across registered entities. Section 203 — Public-Private Information Sharing Pilot (Preventing Illicit Finance Through Partnership Act): Authorizes a formal 5-year pilot program for federal agencies (DOJ, FBI, DEA, Treasury, FinCEN, IRS-CI, OFAC, Secret Service, and DHS) to share live threat intelligence directly with designated private sector entities. This creates explicit safe harbor protections for platforms assisting law enforcement in freezing and seizing illicit funds in real time. Section 204 — Independent Financial Technology Working Group to Combat Terrorism & Illicit Finance: Establishes an interagency working group (Treasury, DOJ, FBI, Secret Service, DHS, ODNI, and blockchain intelligence firms) to track, analyze, and report annually on illicit usage by foreign terrorist organizations, state sponsors of terrorism, and transnational criminal syndicates. Section 205 — Crypto Kiosk / ATM Regulation: Directly targets kiosk-based scams and consumer fraud by mandating operational registration, transaction limits, and a dedicated, rapid-response contact point specifically for law enforcement investigations. Section 305 — Temporary Holds Safe Harbor: Explicitly allows exchanges and digital asset service providers to place short temporary holds on suspicious transactions, including upon receipt of a formal written request from law enforcement, without fear of private civil liability. Section 302 & Section 401 — SEC & CFTC Anti-Fraud Enforcement: Explicitly grants/preserves market manipulation and anti-fraud enforcement powers for both the CFTC (over digital commodity spot markets) and the SEC (over registered digital asset platforms and permitted payment stablecoins). Section 308 — Preservation of State Anti-Fraud Authority: Clarifies that nothing in the federal market structure preempts or limits state securities regulators or attorneys general from prosecuting fraud within their jurisdictions.
