💨 Abstract

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has fired a number of recent hires this week, under the new CIA director John Ratcliffe, amidst Trump's federal workforce reductions. The dismissals, known as probationary employees, were due to performance issues, but intelligence officers warn it could risk damaging U.S. national security. The firings were first reported by the New York Times, and members of the House and Senate intelligence committees were not informed.
