YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., questioned director of national intelligence nominee Jay Clayton in a confirmation hearing Wednesday held by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
President Donald Trump nominated Clayton for the role after Tulsi Gabbard announced she was resigning in late May. Trump’s pick for acting national intelligence director, federal housing official Bill Pulte, was met with bipartisan backlash for his lack of relevant experience. Trump forced the delay of Clayton’s original confirmation hearing three weeks ago.
Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York as well as a former SEC chair, may face questioning about his independence from the president and concerns about election interference heading into November’s midterm elections.
