Summary
Trump shocks the nation by delaying Jay Clayton’s confirmation hearing for Director of National Intelligence, tying it to a stalled voting bill and demanding a new U.S. Attorney nominee — a move that rattles the Republican-controlled Senate and threatens to stall critical surveillance authority.
