[Director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency Dismissed] According to a report by Reuters on August 22 local time, Jeffrey Kruse, the Director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), has been dismissed. This move immediately drew criticism from Congressional Democrats. Senator Mark Warner, Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a Democrat, stated that this decision is the latest example of the Trump administration "treating intelligence as a loyalty test rather than a safeguard for national security," highlighting the risk of politicizing the intelligence system. Kruse himself has not yet commented on his dismissal.
