DNI Pick Clayton Dodges 2020 Election Question in Confirmation Hearing

During his Senate Intelligence confirmation hearing to become Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton refused to declare the winner of the 2020 election, saying Biden was certified, as Democrats pressed him on past comments about election integrity, his time as U.S. attorney, and his decision to subpoena New York Times journalists over reporting on a Qatar-gifted jet; the hearing also touched on interim leadership, the Section 702 program, and a committee vote is expected next week.
