President Trump just announced the nomination of a new Director of National Intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard.

I’ve never heard of Jay Clayton, but this should hopefully appease RINOS in Congress who are unhappy with Acting DNI Bill Pulte.

Here’s what Trump wrote:

I am pleased to announce the Nomination of very Highly Respected Jay Clayton, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the former Head of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the most prominent and successful Law Firms anywhere in the World, and the current United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next Director of National Intelligence and, importantly, to serve in my Cabinet. Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
