Part 4/8:
Samantha Dravis, a contributor present during Pillsbury's interview, raised questions about CISA's credibility, arguing that there have been criticisms that the agency requires reform. Critics have suggested that CISA has strayed from its core mission and has been weaponized to deal with disinformation instead.
