President Trump named Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence on Wednesday. The interim role is expected to last a few weeks. Trump instructed Pulte to push for rapid declassification of a wide array of documents.
According to reports, the order covers nearly all materials available for review. Some news organizations highlighted the possibility for large-scale declassification in the near future. The appointment is short-term, as reported by multiple sources. The move seeks to release sensitive files quickly under new oversight.
Pulte will lead the national intelligence community during this interim period. The administration suggests the directive applies to almost every file prepared for public viewing. This action follows recent discussions on government transparency and similar releases.
