YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Wednesday, Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, sat before the Senate Intelligence Committee for a confirmation hearing. When asked repeatedly by Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-GA, about the results of the 2020 election, Clayton declined to say former President Joe Biden won. Joe calls the moment “frightening,” saying the nominee is “more interested in the president’s delusions about 2020 than telling the truth.”
