Mark Warner says he’ll vote against Trump pick Jay Clayton as DNI

Sen. Mark Warner announced he will vote against Jay Clayton’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) due to dissatisfaction with Clayton’s confirmation hearing performance, particularly his evasive responses about the 2020 election and criticism of Tulsi Gabbard’s actions. Warner acknowledged Clayton’s prior work at the SEC but stated he was 'bitterly disappointed,' while noting the Senate panel’s Republican majority likely ensures Clayton’s confirmation despite opposition.
