DNI

She said one of the very first things she's going to do as the DNI is look into these drone and UAP issues. Now, this is this is potentially a cabinet level position that she is now saying for the record, these are going to be some of our priorities.

But she as DNI for people out there who are less familiar with, I guess, the organizational structure of government.
