The arrest of a man accused of taking part in the killing of 13 U.S. service members was aided by a yearslong effort by the U.S. and Pakistan, former Biden admin officials say.

More than 50 officers assigned to DEI posts at CIA and the Office of National Intelligence have been fired, cannot challenge the firings and cannot take another intelligence post.

If firing CIA officers would prompt them to "risk treason" by spilling nation's secrets, they need to part with the agency, which is the thinking of Director John Ratcliffe.

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered that intelligence cooperation with Ukraine be halted as well as military aid, CIA Director John Ratcliffe said on Wednesday.

The CIA boss said he thinks pause “will go away” and that the US “will work shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine as we have to push back on the aggression that’s there.”

Reports circulated on Wednesday that the US had cut off intelligence support to Ukraine, a move that could curtail Kyiv's efforts on the battlefield. View on euronews
