Trump Says He Wants Acting DNI Bill Pulte to “Declassify Almost Everything” – “I Told Him Declassify Whatever You Want” (VIDEO)
July 1, 2026
President Trump on Wednesday told reporters that Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Bill Pulte can declassify “almost everything” while he serves in the temporary role.
Pulte will serve in the role for a “fairly short period of time,” as his permanent DNI nominee, Jay Clayton, is Senate-confirmed. However, Clayton has a questionable resume, including an endorsement from New York Attorney General Letitia James and a background in elite legal, financial, and regulatory circles. He is far from an outsider, as noted by TGP’s Joel Gilbert.
Trump described Clayton as “highly respected.”
This follows former DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell declassifications as she departed the administration.
Gabbard last month, on her final day as Director of National Intelligence, dropped a bombshell release of “never-before-seen” documents exposing Dr. Fauci for lying to Congress and providing millions of taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research that led to the COVID-19 pandemic. Days prior, declassified documents detailing US concerns with Ukrainian biolabs amid the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as US funding of labs in Ukraine and funding studies on diseases, including highly infectious viruses.
Trump told reporters that he wants to declassify “almost everything” and that he told Pulte, “You can declassify whatever you want,” until Clayton takes over. This would presumably include classified documents on the 2020 election.
WATCH:
Posobiec: We’ve got DNI Pulte over there as the new director. We also know you have the task force set up on declassification, maybe looking, talking about international, maybe looking at some declassification. Are you able to give us an update on that?
Trump: We are. We need to declassify almost everything. And you know, by the way, we have Jay Clayton is going in. You know, Bill Pulte is a very talented guy, but he’s just there temporarily until Jay Clayton, and Jay Clayton is going through the process, and Jay Clayton, highly respected, and so is Bill Pulte, but Bill is there just for a fairly short period of time. But while he’s there, I said, you can declassify whatever you want.
Posobiec: Do you think we’re going to get some soon?
Trump: I told him he can do it. You got to ask him, but I think that Bill will declassify. I told him you can declassify whatever you want. So, Bill’s there just for maybe a month or two months or something, and Jay is going through the process. He’s got a hearing in two weeks. Highly respected man, Jay Clayton.
Pulte is already making waves in the Intelligence Community with a massive purge of the Deep State.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Pulte has already fired at least 50 Seep State intel officials.
“The Deep State firings have begun,” a source told CNN last week.
