## Resource

Senator Thom Tillis is now backing President Trump’s surprise pick for Director of National Intelligence: Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan. Tillis previously criticized acting director Bill Pulte for lacking national security experience, calling it a serious risk. Clayton’s track record prosecuting major national security cases gives him the credibility Tillis says is essential for the role — created after 9/11 to fix critical intelligence gaps. With Clayton’s nomination, the administration appears to be shifting away from Pulte’s controversial downsizing plan and moving toward a leader with proven expertise, hoping for swift Senate confirmation.
