With fears he might be used by former President Trump to meddle in future elections, Democrats see his reluctance as a red flag. Despite his strong background in prosecuting terrorism and fraud, and his pledge to uphold national security and interagency cooperation, the friction with Democrats threatens his confirmation — even as Republicans push for swift approval to replace interim director Bill Pulte. The hearing also touched on sensitive topics like Tulsi Gabbard’s election office visit and journalist subpoenas, where Clayton defended press freedom while dodging details. A vote looms next week — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
