WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is nominating Jay Clayton, the chief prosecutor for \u200bthe Southern District of New York, to be \u200cthe next director of national intelligence, following pushback from U.S. lawmakers over Trump’s pick to fill the role temporarily.<\/div>\n
“Few people anywhere in the Legal \u200bCommunity are respected at the level of Jay. \u200bI encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay \u2060as soon as possible,” Trump said in a Truth \u200bSocial post.<\/div>\n
Clayton’s official biography says that he is a former \u200bU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chairman who as a prosecutor has handled prominent cases, including the indictment on narco-terrorism charges of deposed Venezuelan \u200bPresident Nicolas Maduro.<\/div>\n
But it shows that Clayton has \u200bno intelligence background or traditional national security experience.<\/div>\n
It was not immediately \u200cclear \u2060if his selection to the permanent post of top U.S. spy would end Democratic opposition to Trump’s choice of loyalist Bill Pulte to be the interim director of national \u200bsecurity and \u200bbreak a Capitol \u2060Hill impasse over renewing a foreign surveillance program that expires on Friday.<\/div>\n
The Republican-controlled U.S. \u200bHouse of Representatives on Thursday rejected a short-term \u200bextension \u2060of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that Trump has sought.<\/div>\n
Trump said Pulte, the head of the federal housing agency, would take \u2060over \u200bas acting director on June 19 \u200bto replace Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned effective June 30.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
