AXIOS: Trump to nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe to replace Dan Coats as DNI
Trump was thrilled by Ratcliffe’s admonishment of Robert Mueller in last week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Looks like, at this past week’s Mueller hearing, one Republican Congressman may have been auditioning to be Donald Trump’s next Director of National Intelligence.
….be leaving office on August 15th. I would like to thank Dan for his great service to our Country. The Acting Director will be named shortly.
