Senate to hold hearing for Trump’s pick to head intelligence agencies after weekslong delay
Democrats pressed Clayton on subpoenas of four New York Times reporters and his views on election interference as he seeks to replace acting DNI Bill Pulte.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump's nominee Jay Clayton testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, repeatedly refusing to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election despite repeated questioning.
- Trump abruptly postponed Clayton's original June hearing to pressure Congress into passing the SAVE America Act, leaving the intelligence community under acting director Bill Pulte, a former housing official with no intelligence experience.
- Senators questioned Clayton about subpoenas he issued to four New York Times journalists investigating security concerns about a Qatari-gifted Air Force One; Clayton defended them as a "consultative process" with career prosecutors.
- Senator Jon Ossoff challenged Clayton's evasion, asking, "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question?" while Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton plans a committee vote next week.
- Confirming Clayton is viewed as essential to renewing FISA Section 702, which expired in June, as Democrats have blocked the surveillance authority while acting director Bill Pulte remains in post.
