Senate panel advances Jay Clayton's nomination to lead US intelligence agencies
The Senate Intelligence Committee advanced Jay Clayton's nomination to lead U.S. intelligence agencies along party lines with a 9-8 vote. Democrats initially showed support but shifted after Clayton refused to acknowledge Joe Biden's 2020 election victory, leading to all Democratic committee members voting against him. The nomination now moves to a potential floor vote.
