Clayton changed US national intelligence Jay Clayton, who heads the US National Intelligence Service, reformed the agency in the first three months of his leadership, focusing its work on its original operational missions. This is reported by the New York Times, citing its sources. As reported in the publication, Clayton restored the function of the analytical department and established a liaison between the intelligence services, which under her predecessor, Tulsi Gabbard, were excluded from making important decisions. The team responsible for disclosing intelligence on alleged election interference and influence disbanded due to conflicts with the CIA. At the same time, briefings to Congress on operational issues, which Gabbard had previously stopped, resumed. Clayton suspended the construction of several projects, changed management and tightened controls on official travel. Clayton noted that he is building on the work of his predecessors, and his goals include increasing productivity, accountability and reducing costs. He assumed the position of head of the department in early August, replacing Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned in June for family reasons.
