Ben Meiselas 0:00
Top military generals, service secretaries, the CIA, they're all turning on Donald Trump. Yesterday, we saw a letter from 28 former service secretaries and retired generals and flag officers who collectively served under every president from John F. Kennedy to joseph biden calling out donald trump's regime and specifically calling donald trump for picking bill pulte to lead odny the office of the director of national intelligence similarly we are now learning from leaks by the cia they are not sharing information with odni the office of the director of national intelligence it seems that donald trump is getting his information and the bad information from ODNI.

The CAOC out of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was totally obliterated and destroyed by Iran early in the war, and that the United States was operating out of South Carolina, not out of Al Udeid, but they were pretending to operate out of Al Udeid when it was absolutely destroyed by Iran.

So he's not even allowed to have access to any classified information, yet alone highly classified information, yet alone sensitive compartmented information, yet alone the highest. He's never gotten a security clearance. He's never been vetted for a security clearance. And they made him the head of ODNI. Are you kidding me?

How is the CIA reacting to Trump's leadership and decisions?

Let me read for you this powerful letter that was sent to Tom Cotton and Mark Warner, the top senators on the House Intelligence Committee. Here's what they write. Dear Chairman Cotton and Vice Chairman Warner, the undersigned include 28 former service secretaries and retired general and flag officers who collectively served under every president from John F.

The position of Director of National Intelligence is a serious role with real implications for U.S.

national security. When Congress created the position in 2004, the findings from the 9-11 Commission were top of mind, as were the extraordinary stakes of maintaining the world's largest intelligence operation in an ever-changing global threat landscape congress wisely enacted binding statutory guard rails to ensure only the qualified and capable would serve in this critical role these guard rails include one requiring that the director shall have extensive national security expertise too mandating that the director provide intelligence that is objective and independent of political considerations three requiring senate confirmation to ensure rigorous evaluation nominee qualifications for the unique demands of the position and four requiring that the principal deputy director of national intelligence another senate confirmed position shall act for and exercise the powers of the director
