Jay Clayton Eyes DNI Role | Washington DC News

Jay Clayton is poised to become the next Director of National Intelligence after the Senate advanced his nomination — confirmation is expected this Tuesday. His confirmation faced scrutiny during a recent hearing when he declined to explicitly say Joe Biden won the 2020 election, instead calling it “certified.” A former SEC chairman under Trump and U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Clayton’s nomination was delayed by President Trump, who held off until after June — allowing Bill Pulte to serve as interim director. Now, with bipartisan support, Clayton is set to lead the nation’s intelligence agencies.
