NSL4A is deeply concerned by the sudden firing of Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse, DIA Director, part of a troubling pattern of political interference in U.S. intelligence. These actions, including recent removals at the NSA and National Intelligence Council, reflect efforts to bend intelligence to fit political preferences.

NSL4A is alarmed by reports that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired the top two officials at the National Intelligence Council for resisting politicized intelligence on Venezuela, and calls on Congress to reassert its oversight authority.
