华盛顿6月5日电（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五对《华尔街日报》表示，他希望代理国家情报总监比尔·普尔蒂启动解雇大量员工的程序，以此作为美国情报界重组的一部分。
特朗普告诉该报，他私下对普尔蒂表示，他认为负责监管18个联邦情报机构和部门的国家情报总监办公室“没有必要，或者规模过大”。

“我希望看到它规模缩小。我认为那里有很多人不该待在那个位置上，”引述特朗普的话说道。
白宫未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
特朗普此前任命普尔蒂在图尔西·加巴德于6月30日离任后担任代理国家情报总监。
周四，特朗普明确表示，在普尔蒂的临时任命于明年初到期后，他不会提名这位抵押贷款监管官员担任美国情报总监一职。
普尔蒂因作为特朗普忠实盟友却缺乏国家安全相关经验，遭到民主党人和部分共和党参议员的强烈反对。

WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Friday he wants acting director of national intelligence Bill Pulte to begin the process of firing a large number of employees as part of a shake-up of the U.S. intelligence community.
Trump told the Journal he privately told Pulte that he believes the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees 18 federal intelligence agencies and units, is “unnecessary and or too big.”

“I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump was quoted as saying.
The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Trump tapped Pulte to take over as interim director of national intelligence when Tulsi Gabbard leaves the post on June 30.
On Thursday, Trump indicated he will not nominate mortgage regulator Pulte to be the nation’s intelligence chief once his temporary appointment expires early next year.
Pulte has faced a backlash from Democrats and some key senators of his Republican Party over the Trump loyalist’s lack of national security experience.
