TL;DR

President Donald Trump nominated Jay Clayton, the former SEC chair and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next permanent Director of National Intelligence, a post that requires Senate approval. The move follows controversy over Bill Pulte serving as acting DNI and comes as the House rejected extending Section 702; Clayton would oversee the entire U.S. intelligence community, including the CIA and NSA, with Trump urging swift confirmation.
