Donnell Harvin

Donnell Harvin, former Chief of Homeland Security and Intelligence for D.C., shares his insights on national security priorities. He argues that the U.S. is misallocating resources, focusing on politically-driven issues over real threats like transnational crime. Harvin discusses the impact of funding cuts on critical agencies and the risks reminiscent of pre-9/11 vulnerabilities. He emphasizes the delicate balance between using open source intelligence for security and protecting civil liberties, while also addressing how leadership changes disrupt intelligence continuity.
