Trump Picks Top Manhattan Federal Prosecutor as Next Intelligence Chief

Trump nominated Jay Clayton, Manhattan U.S. attorney, to be the next director of national intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard; he has no formal intelligence background and faces a Senate confirmation hearing next week. Bill Pulte remains acting DNI and FHFA director, with Democrats demanding his removal and a full security review before he can access classified material. Democrats oppose renewing Section 702 until Pulte is replaced, while Republicans need several Democrats’ votes to reach 60. CIA Director Ratcliffe had recommended Clayton for the post. Pulte’s past use of mortgage data to probe political foes has fueled concerns about national security and potential politicization.
