Senate Confirms Jay Clayton as new DNI
The U.S. Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence with a 51-47 vote. Clayton has held three Senate-confirmed roles across two Trump administrations and previously led the Securities and Exchange Commission. Concerns were raised about politicizing intelligence agencies after Clayton refused to acknowledge the 2020 election results during his confirmation hearing.
