BREAKING: Bill Pulte’s ODNI Purge Continues – Pulte Says “Third Round of Reducing Redundant, or Non-Critical, Personnel” Has Started

Axting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte announced on Friday that he is starting a “third round” of firing against Deep State Intel officials. 

The “redundant or non-critical personnel” will be fired, he said.

Bill Pulte fired over 50 career Deep State intel officials last month alone.

“The Deep State firings have begun,” a source told CNN.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Pulte fired more intel officials right before the Fourth of July last week.

Now, he says that a "third round of reducing redundant, or non-critical, personnel" started on Friday.

"DNI’s future is exceptionally bright, and will be focused on following the law and the statute," Pulte said:

U.S. National Intelligence is operating more efficiently and effectively than ever before, and today, we started a third round of reducing redundant, or non-critical, personnel. DNI’s future is exceptionally bright, and will be focused on following the law and the statute.

In addition to mass firings of Deep State officials, Trump has also said he wants Pulte to declassify "everything."

Trump's permanent Director of National Intelligence pick, Jay Clayton, is expected to appear before a Senate Committee next week for his confimration hearing.

Trump has previously withheld Clayton's nomination by delaying Senate hearings and FISA approval because the SAVE America Act was not passed.

This is a developing story.
