Senat menunda sidang konfirmasi Jay Clayton untuk jabatan DNI

Komite Intelijen Senat telah menunda sidang konfirmasi Jay Clayton untuk menjabat sebagai Direktur Intelijen Nasional (DNI). Presiden Trump memerintahkan penundaan tersebut melalui unggahan di Truth Social semalam. Bill Pulte akan tetap menjabat sebagai direktur pelaksana untuk sementara waktu.

Senator Tom Cotton, ketua Partai Republik di Komite Intelijen Senat, mengumumkan penundaan tersebut setelah adanya arahan dari Trump. Sidang tersebut awalnya dijadwalkan pada hari Rabu sore.

Trump mengatakan bahwa pencalonan tersebut tidak akan diproses sampai Jamie McDonald dikonfirmasi sebagai Jaksa AS. Ia juga mengaitkan perpanjangan izin alat pengawasan FISA Bagian 702 dengan pengesahan rancangan undang-undang pemungutan suara SAVE America Act.

Clayton saat ini menjabat sebagai Jaksa AS untuk Distrik Selatan New York. Ia sebelumnya memimpin Komisi Sekuritas dan Bursa (SEC) selama masa jabatan pertama Trump.

Pulte, yang tidak memiliki pengalaman di bidang intelijen, akan terus menjalankan peran sebagai pejabat pelaksana. Direktur yang akan lengser, Tulsi Gabbard, mengundurkan diri bulan lalu.
