Sources familiar with the situation said the downsizing would cut about 1,000 to 1,200 employees at the Central Intelligence Agency.

The planned cuts include 1,200 positions at the CIA, along with thousands more from other parts of the U.S. intelligence community.

The administration of President Donald Trump is planning significant personnel cuts at the Central Intelligence Agency and other major U.S. spy units, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the plans.
