Trump derailed his intel chief pick's confirmation. Now he gets another shot.
President Donald Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, will face a Senate confirmation hearing after Trump initially delayed the process. The nomination follows the resignation of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard and aims to avoid controversy over Trump's previous pick, Bill Pulte, which stalled FISA reauthorization. Democrats oppose Pulte's appointment but support Clayton, seen as a compromise to restart counter-terrorism tool discussions.
