Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired two officials at the National Intelligence Council, officials confirmed to Breitbart News, as part of the Trump administration's goal to "end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community," according to a spokesperson.

Gabbard fired Michael Collins, the acting chair of the council, and Maria Langan-Riekhof, who served as Collins' deputy.

"The Director is working alongside President Trump to end the weaponization and politicization of the Intelligence Community," a spokesperson for Gabbard's office said in a statement to the Washington Post.

The move came as the National Intelligence Council had recently published a report suggesting that the communist Maduro regime in Venezuela plays no role in Tren de Aragua gang members illegally immigrating to the United States.
