Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has established a new task force to help rebuild trust and restore accountability and transparency within the U.S. intelligence community.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Tuesday the newly formed Director’s Initiatives Group, or DIG, has begun executing tasks in compliance with President Donald Trump’s intelligence-related executive orders and presidential actions.
What Is the Director’s Initiatives Group Doing?
Under Gabbard’s direction, DIG is assessing IC’s structure, resources and personnel to eliminate wasteful spending and enhance efficiency.
The task force is also reviewing documents for potential declassification, including information related to the origin of COVID-19, Anomalous Health Incidents and Crossfire Hurricane.
“We are already identifying wasteful spending in real time, streamlining outdated processes, reviewing documents for declassification, and leading ongoing efforts to root out abuses of power and politicization,” said Gabbard.
“We are committed to executing the President’s vision and focusing the Intelligence Community on its core mission: ensuring our security by providing the President and policymakers with timely, apolitical, objective, relevant intelligence to inform their decision-making to ensure the safety, security and freedom of the American people,” she added.
