Democrats allege spy agency work is being undermined and politicized under Trump
Democrats say Trump administration's loyalty-based staffing and budget cuts weakened U.S. intelligence, causing partners like Colombia and Britain to limit intelligence sharing, lawmakers say.
- On Oct. 23, 2025, Top Democrats on the House and Senate intelligence committees blasted President Donald Trump's administration for undermining intelligence agencies and politicizing personnel decisions.
- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard this year accused earlier administrations of politicizing intelligence work and revoked security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials.
- Following strikes on alleged cartel boats, lawmakers wrote to Gabbard on October 23, 2025, about reports that Colombia, Britain and the Netherlands limited intelligence sharing.
- Lawmakers warned that if targeted killings reduce partner cooperation, the United States will be less safe, and China and Russia will capitalize amid escalating global tensions.
- A Gabbard spokesperson pointed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's comments on strong U.S. partnerships with the U.K., while Rubio pushed back, calling reports about Britain limiting sharing false this month.
