House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff requested information from acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell about recent staffing changes while raising concerns about the politicization of the spy process.

“I am writing to express my concern that you are pursuing organizational and personnel changes at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence without consulting and seeking authorization from Congress and in a manner that undermines critical intelligence functions,” Schiff said in a four-page letter on Tuesday. “This effort appears to be proceeding despite the coronavirus pandemic and amid indications, exemplified by a March 10 briefing to members of Congress, of political interference in the production and dissemination of intelligence.”
