Jay Clayton to Succeed Bill Pulte as US Director of National Intelligence
Bill Pulte's two-month tenure as acting US Director of National Intelligence ends Monday, with Jay Clayton set to assume the role following Senate confirmation. Pulte, appointed by President Trump after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation, faced criticism for lacking national security experience. Clayton, a former US attorney and SEC chairman, was confirmed along party lines despite losing bipartisan support after a contentious hearing. Pulte released intelligence documents during his tenure, part of broader election-related disclosures by the Trump administration. The White House has not announced Clayton's plans yet.
