US Senate panel narrowly backs Trump nominee to be top US spy
The 9-8 vote sends Clayton’s nomination to the full Senate after Democrats raised concerns over his refusal to say Biden won in 2020.
- On Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 9-8 to advance President Donald Trump's nominee Jay Clayton for Director of National Intelligence, sending his nomination to the full 100-member Senate for a floor vote.
- During last week's hearing, Clayton repeatedly declined to acknowledge that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, drawing sharp Democratic criticism over his stance on election integrity.
- Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said he was "bitterly disappointed" in Clayton, while lawmakers questioned him about recent subpoenas of New York Times journalists in his role as U.S. Attorney for Manhattan.
- Republicans aim to confirm Clayton to replace interim director Bill Pulte, though Clayton requires only a simple majority in the 100-member Senate where Republicans hold a 53-47 advantage.
- Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton said the committee vote advances the nomination as Trump continues focusing on revisiting the 2020 election, a primary concern for his administration.
