Senator John Cotton (R-Arkansas) criticized President Trump’s decision to halt the confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton, nominee for Director of National Intelligence, calling it regrettable. In a social media post, Cotton stated, “Mr. Clayton is a patriot and a highly qualified nominee, as the president has said repeatedly.” The delay leaves the intelligence community without a confirmed leader amid ongoing security challenges.
