ai generated text

Donald Trump announced the nomination of Jay Clayton to replace Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. The announcement follows criticism of Trump’s earlier decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting chief, and while Clayton has received bipartisan support, concerns about his ties to Epstein associate Leon Black have surfaced.

    1. I am pleased to announce the Nomination of very Highly Respected Jay Clayton… to be the next Director of National Intelligence and, importantly, to serve in my Cabinet.
    2. Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible.

    Jay Clayton

    1. Take their words and their actions. When your enemies tell you something, and when they act, you should know that they mean it.
    2. There are foreign nations and terrorist organizations that see our success as a threat. A threat that they want eliminated.

    Mark Warner
    Democratic Party
    1. I don't think the president wants this approved. Why wouldn't he have nominated him yesterday? The House is out of session.
    2. While I am glad to see the president finally come to his senses, before the Senate can take up a Fisa extension there needs to be a clear guarantee that Mr Pulte will not serve as acting DNI.
  5. US
    Chuck Schumer
    Democratic Party
    1. Why did the president wait till after the House went home? Pulte has got to go. Period.

    1. His intelligence, temperament and deep commitment to public service will make him a terrific DNI.
  7. US
    Nicholas Biase
    1. Jay Clayton will remain U.S. Attorney through confirmation.
