Senado adia audiência de confirmação de Jay Clayton para DNI

O Comitê de Inteligência do Senado adiou a audiência de confirmação de Jay Clayton para o cargo de Diretor de Inteligência Nacional. O presidente Trump ordenou o atraso em uma publicação feita durante a noite na Truth Social. Bill Pulte permanecerá como diretor interino enquanto isso.

O senador Tom Cotton, presidente republicano do Comitê de Inteligência do Senado, anunciou o adiamento após a diretriz de Trump. A audiência estava agendada para a tarde de quarta-feira.

Trump afirmou que a nomeação não prosseguirá até que Jamie McDonald seja confirmado como procurador-geral dos EUA. Ele também vinculou a reautorização da ferramenta de vigilância da Seção 702 da FISA à aprovação do projeto de lei de votação SAVE America Act.

Clayton atua atualmente como procurador dos EUA para o Distrito Sul de Nova York. Ele liderou anteriormente a Securities and Exchange Commission durante o primeiro mandato de Trump.

Pulte, que não possui experiência em inteligência, continuará no cargo interino. A diretora cessante Tulsi Gabbard renunciou no mês passado.
