President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Jay Clayton as the next Director of National Intelligence. Clayton previously served as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan. Trump urged the Senate to swiftly confirm his choice. This nomination follows a period of controversy surrounding the temporary appointment of Bill Pulte, a loyalist with no prior intelligence experience, to the acting spy chief role. Pulte's interim tenure led to significant backlash, including the House of Representatives rejecting a surveillance program extension in protest.
