Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Wednesday that her office will cut nearly half its workforce and consolidate several intelligence centers.

Gabbard said ODNI 'must make serious changes' to combat 'abuse of power, unauthorized leaks ... and politicized weaponization' of U.S. intel agencies.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says it will dramatically reduce its workforce and cut its budget by more than $700 million annually
