US EditionOusted Hegseth aide accused of leaking lands intelligence post
Caldwell, aligned with the GOP isolationist faction, will advise on intelligence coordination amid efforts to shift Iran policy, joining a network influencing ODNI leadership.
- This week, Dan Caldwell was hired at ODNI under Director Tulsi Gabbard to advise officials and assist with the president's daily intelligence briefing.
- Dismissed last spring amid leak accusations, Caldwell later appeared on Tucker Carlson and said 'All of us in our own ways threatened really established interests'.
- Caldwell has publicly argued against limited strikes and sees U.S. force posture in the Middle East as 'more of a burden than a benefit', urging withdrawals after Oct. 7, 2023.
- Political allies publicly praised Caldwell, with Donald Trump Jr. calling him a 'true loyalist to my father and the entire MAGA movement' on Monday, while the White House and ODNI declined comment.
- The appointment could bolster the isolationist wing's influence within ODNI and the intelligence community, giving Caldwell access to shape coordination and U.S. posture on Iran and Israel.
