On Thursday, Trump nominated Jay Clayton, the federal prosecutor for Manhattan, to serve as Director of National Intelligence, succeeding Gabrielle. Clayton is seen as relatively moderate in political stance but, like Purdy, lacks background in intelligence matters. Trump announced the nomination on Truth Social and urged the Senate to swiftly confirm the appointment. The White House subsequently submitted the formal nomination to the Senate, and the Senate Intelligence Committee has scheduled the confirmation hearing for next Wednesday. Trump also emphasized to reporters that Bill Purdy, previously appointed as acting director of national intelligence, would not remain in the role long-term.
