Pulte issued a series of criminal referrals to the Justice Department against Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif. ), and former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell. Trump addressed Gabbard’s impending departure late last week, praising her contributions and announcing that Deputy ODNI Aaron Lukas would temporarily assume the role of acting director after she leaves office on June 30. “Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The DNI role places an official directly at the center of U. S. intelligence operations, national security briefings, and classified global threat assessments.
