In July 2025, CISA’s acting director failed a self-requested polygraph, triggering suspensions and exposing leadership and staffing turmoil.
In July 2025, CISA’s acting director Madhu Gottumukkala reportedly failed a polygraph test he requested to access sensitive intelligence, leading to the suspension of at least six agency employees who helped arrange it.
Though not required for his role, Gottumukkala pushed for the test, then blamed staff for misleading him, prompting an internal investigation by DHS.
Officials dispute DHS’s claim that staff acted improperly, noting employees typically must consent to polygraphs.
The incident has fueled concerns over leadership instability and agency dysfunction, coinciding with a nearly one-third staff loss since the Trump administration’s return.
