## Resource

Trump’s last-minute sabotage of his own nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, has plunged national security into chaos. Just hours before his confirmation hearing, Trump ordered Clayton’s absence, triggering a Senate standoff over the renewal of a vital FISA surveillance program. With Democrats refusing to renew the program unless Trump’s loyalist Bill Pulte—lacking any national security experience—is removed, and Trump tying the FISA vote to his stalled voter ID bill, Capitol Hill is paralyzed. Republicans scramble for clarity as Democrats accuse the White House of weaponizing national security for political leverage, turning what should be a swift confirmation into a constitutional crisis.
