Warner Casts Pulte as National Security Risk in DNI Talk
TL;DR
Sen. Mark Warner called acting DNI Bill Pulte a 'national security risk,' saying his lack of national-security experience and loyalty to Trump could threaten election security. Warner questioned whether Pulte would be formally nominated, while critics note his absence of relevant background. Trump has not officially nominated a permanent DNI, and other leaders say Pulte faces a difficult confirmation path. Pulte previously suggested DOJ probes into Democratic figures, though none led to convictions.
