Democrats press intel nominee Jay Clayton in tense confirmation hearing

Jay Clayton, President Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, testified before a Senate panel during a tense confirmation hearing. Democratic senators questioned Clayton regarding Trump's efforts to revive 2020 election investigations. His confirmation is critical for reauthorizing U.S. foreign spy powers, as Section 702 has been expired for over a month. Democrats have previously refused to reauthorize these powers, making the confirmation process a pivotal moment for the nation's intelligence capabilities and oversight.
