Senate confirms Jay Clayton as US spy chief

The Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as the new director of national intelligence in a 51-47 party-line vote, replacing Bill Pulte. Democrats criticized Clayton for refusing to acknowledge Joe Biden's 2020 election victory and expressed concerns he would align with President Donald Trump's election denialism. The confirmation follows bipartisan criticism of Pulte, who lacked security clearance and national security experience.
