Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she is setting up a task force to cut costs and root out what she said is "weaponization" of the government.

In a statement on Tuesday, Gabbard said that the task force creation is designed to "rebuild trust in the Intelligence Community" and to align with President Donald Trump's executive orders.

"We are already identifying wasteful spending in real time, streamlining outdated processes, reviewing documents for declassification, and leading ongoing efforts to root out abuses of power and politicization," she said in the statement.
