Intel reform gets mixed reviews on Capitol Hill

A disputed leak from President-elect Trump’s transition team signals potential changes for the nation’s intelligence community, but lawmakers are split on what reform might look like, and whether there should be any changes at all.

Reports last week said Trump’s team might be looking to reduce the director of national intelligence’s power. Trump’s incoming spokesman Sean Spicer denied the plan is in the works, but it’s not the first time Trump has proposed neutering the DNI, who some on the Trump team believe leaked information to the media linking pre-election hacks to the Russians.
