The chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB), Devin Nunes, told Just the News that his colleagues are working on intelligence agency reform options for President Donald Trump, and his personal preference is to shrink the top spy agency and disperse more spies and analysts outside Washington.
“Having people in foreign countries for longer durations, in my opinion, is critically important,” Nunes said in a wide-ranging interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast. “And having fewer and fewer people (in DC), whether it’s at the FBI or any of the Defense Department agencies. The more people you have in Washington, the worst things will be,” the former California Congressman said.
Nunes confirmed that his board, which provides civilian oversight of America’s 17 spy agencies and gives advice to the president, is preparing reform ideas for Trump.
“The President was clear to me that he wants us on the board and me as the chair, to get the politics out of the intelligence community, which would include, you know, the DOJ, the FBI, CIA and across DOD,” Nunes said.
