Clayton Takes Over as Intelligence Chief | Roanoke News
Description
Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte is stepping down after just two months, a brief tenure fueled by his appointment as Trump’s temporary pick — and swift backlash from Republicans who questioned his national security credentials. His departure clears the way for Jay Clayton, a former SEC chief and U.S. attorney, to take over — despite a rocky confirmation where he dodged affirming Biden’s 2020 win, costing him bipartisan goodwill. Just before Clayton’s Senate vote, Pulte leaked sensitive 2020 intel warning of China’s election interference capabilities — adding intrigue as the White House remains mum on Clayton’s swearing-in date.
