Trump Delays Jay Clayton Director of National Intelligence Confirmation on June 17

According to Jin10, President Trump on June 17 pressured Senate Republicans to delay confirmation of Jay Clayton as the next director of national intelligence, disrupting plans for quick approval. Trump stated that the Senate Intelligence Committee will cancel its scheduled Wednesday hearing. On social media, Trump said the nomination will not advance until Jamie McDonald—his pick to replace Clayton as Manhattan's federal prosecutor—receives Senate confirmation. Bill Poulter will continue serving as acting director. Trump also reiterated he will not approve restoration of intelligence surveillance authorization that expired last week until the Senate passes an election rules reform bill that failed to advance through the Republican-controlled chamber earlier this month.
