Senate aims to fast-track Jay Clayton as DNI to avert acting-leadership gap
TL;DR Summary
The Senate is racing to confirm Jay Clayton as director of national intelligence as soon as Thursday to prevent Bill Pulte from becoming acting DNI and to keep open the option of renewing Section 702, with a Wednesday hearing and a potential floor vote only if all 100 senators consent; a single dissent could delay the vote. The drive runs alongside updates to a bipartisan housing affordability bill and broader Capitol coverage, including changes within the House Freedom Caucus.
