El Senado pospone la audiencia de confirmación de Jay Clayton como director de Inteligencia Nacional

El Comité de Inteligencia del Senado ha pospuesto la audiencia de confirmación de Jay Clayton para ocupar el cargo de director de Inteligencia Nacional. El presidente Trump ordenó el retraso en una publicación durante la noche en Truth Social. Mientras tanto, Bill Pulte permanecerá como director interino.

El senador Tom Cotton, presidente republicano del Comité de Inteligencia del Senado, anunció el aplazamiento tras la directiva de Trump. La audiencia estaba programada para el miércoles por la tarde.

Trump declaró que la nominación no avanzará hasta que Jamie McDonald sea confirmado como fiscal federal de EE. UU. También condicionó la reautorización de la herramienta de vigilancia de la Sección 702 de la FISA a la aprobación del proyecto de ley electoral SAVE America Act.

Clayton se desempeña actualmente como fiscal federal para el Distrito Sur de Nueva York. Anteriormente dirigió la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores durante el primer mandato de Trump.

Pulte, quien no tiene experiencia en inteligencia, continuará en el cargo de forma interina. La directora saliente, Tulsi Gabbard, renunció el mes pasado.
