from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson

Questions remain about whether negotiations can move forward. 2. Jay Clayton Nominated for Intelligence Role Jay Clayton has been nominated for Director of National Intelligence, potentially replacing concerns surrounding Bill Pulte's possible appointment. The nomination could reshape debate over FISA and intelligence policy. 3.

Sentencing will follow. 4. Department of Defense May Become Department of War The Senate Armed Services Committee approved legislation to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.
