The president said the ODNI &#8220;should maybe even be terminated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn&#8217;t be there,&#8221; the president told the Journal. Asked if he is calling on Pulte to fire ODNI workers, Mr. Trump said he wants Pulte to &#8220;start the process&#8221; that can be continued by a permanent director.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve made the Department of Education much smaller, and likewise, this should be much smaller,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;And this should maybe even be terminated, and we&#8217;ll make that decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As an acting director, Pulte can serve for 210 days from when he starts the role. He&#8217;s also continuing to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re less shackled,&#8221; the president told the Journal, referring to Pulte operating in an acting role. &#8220;It sort of gives you more power, you know, for a somewhat limited period of time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frankly, it might be good for him to shake it up before people come,&#8221; Mr. Trump added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An ODNI official said Gabbard already reduced agency staff by nearly 50% and saved taxpayers nearly $1 billion in a part of an effort dubbed &#8220;ODNI 2.0.&#8221; Gabbard, the official noted, has long said she was willing to be the last director of national intelligence if it was determined ODNI was unnecessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We look forward to working with Mr. Pulte and President Trump on additional initiatives to advance savings and root out deep state bad actors,&#8221; the ODNI official said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president told the Journal he&#8217;s interviewing two people for the permanent post, &#8220;one from business and one from the world of politics.&#8221; He also said Pulte is &#8220;not going to be there that long.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Pulte may look into &#8220;rigged elections,&#8221; an apparent reference to the 2020 presidential election. As FHFA director, Pulte launched mortgage fraud investigations into Trump foes despite GOP concerns, demonstrating he doesn&#8217;t shy from political controversy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections, etc., etc.,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;I think he&#8217;d like to do it. I&#8217;d like to \u2014 I think he wants to do it very much. Got a lot of energy. But he&#8217;ll be very good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the president was asked if Pulte is qualified for the intelligence role, given that he has no known national security experience. Mr. Trump suggested Pulte is &#8220;smart&#8221; and will pick up on the job quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he does, actually, because he&#8217;s smart,&#8221; Mr. Trump responded. &#8220;Look, I wasn&#8217;t greatly experienced in national security and I think I&#8217;ve done a really great job with it, a lot of people would say that.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president&#8217;s selection of Pulte hasn&#8217;t gone over well on Capitol Hill, where senators on Friday <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-fisa-vote-extension\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">failed to pass<\/a><\/span> a reauthorization of a key surveillance program under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
