Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) criticizes President Donald Trump’s decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. Speaking on MSNBC, Ossoff argues that the appointment increases the likelihood of a terrorist attack on the United States. He describes Pulte using harsh language and says the move is alarming, characterizing it as placing an unsuitable figure in a key intelligence role. Ossoff frames his comments as a national security concern tied to who leads the intelligence community in the acting capacity. The two outlets covering the remarks report that Ossoff’s central claim is that Trump’s selection would make “a terrorist attack more likely,” and that his criticism is aimed specifically at the Pulte appointment rather than other intelligence-related policy changes. The reporting does not provide additional supporting evidence or details about any specific threat assessments, response plans, or intelligence community review associated with the claim, focusing instead on Ossoff’s reaction to the appointment.
