Clayton will take over as US intelligence chief on Monday, Pulte says
Jay Clayton will step into a role that was vacated in June when Tulsi Gabbard stepped down after a tenure marked by clashes with congressional Democrats.
Jay Clayton is set to become the US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on Monday, following his confirmation by Senate Republicans this week. Acting DNI Bill Pulte announced the transition on Saturday, stating, "the DNI transition will take place this coming Monday." Clayton, formerly the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, will oversee 18 US intelligence agencies. His nomination faced Democratic opposition due to his refusal during confirmation hearings to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Clayton replaces Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned in June after a tenure marked by disputes with congressional Democrats.
