Responsibilities
In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America, the position of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was created to close the gaps in the US Intelligence Community – a coalition of 18 agencies and organizations that include the NSA, DIA, NGA, NRO, and CIA.
Elevated to a cabinet-level position during President Trump’s first administration, the DNI manages the multi-billion-dollar National Intelligence Program and the Military Intelligence Program, among others.
Quote
“For too long faulty, inadequate, or weaponized intelligence have led to costly failures and the undermining of our national security and God-given freedoms enshrined in the constitution.” Gabbard said she would “work to end the politicization of the intelligence community,” in her confirmation hearing.
