Fox News Digital confirmed that the PDB team has been moved from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

Washington D.C. - Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has implemented a significant change in the intelligence community by moving the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) staff from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Fox News Digital confirmed the move with sources within the intelligence community.
The Presidential Daily Brief is a highly classified document that provides the President of the United States with a summary of key intelligence information from around the world. It is considered one of the most important documents produced by the U.S. intelligence community.
Previously, the CIA had primary responsibility for preparing the PDB. However, under Director Gabbard's direction, the responsibility now shifts to the ODNI. The ODNI was created in 2004 in response to intelligence failures leading up to the Iraq War, with the aim of improving coordination and information sharing among the various intelligence agencies.
This move centralizes the PDB process under the ODNI, which oversees all intelligence agencies. Proponents of the change argue that it will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the PDB by ensuring that the President receives a comprehensive and coordinated briefing from across the intelligence community. Critics, however, express concerns about potential bureaucratic hurdles and the impact on the CIA's influence in the intelligence process. Director Gabbard has not yet released a formal statement on the matter.
