Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse was unexpectedly removed as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The DIA's deputy director, Christine Bordine, is now acting director. Congress was informed of the firing but not given a reason. Senator Mark Warner criticized the Trump administration, suggesting the firing was politically motivated. The DIA's assessment of recent military strikes against Iran, which contradicted President Trump's claims, may have played a role in Kruse's dismissal. The firing caused shock and concern among DIA employees worried about political interference.
