美国参议院以51票对47票确认杰伊·克莱顿为国家情报总监1。克莱顿将接替因缺乏情报经验而遭撤销的原提名人比尔·普尔特1。普尔特曾担任住房官员职位，其提名遭到反对，他还曾宣布执行人员削减计划，涉及约占此前数周人员总数30%的岗位1。
克莱顿曾担任美国纽约南区检察官，具有证券监管和联邦检察官背景1。在确认听证会上，克莱顿就2020年总统选举问题表态，称拜登已被"认证"为获胜者，"我不是选举否认者"1。民主党参议院情报委员会副主席沃纳表示对克莱顿"是否愿意抵抗政治压力"存有"严重保留"1。克莱顿的确认可能为国会推进《外国情报监视法》第702条款的重新授权谈判铺平道路1。
The U.S. Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as the next Director of National Intelligence with a 51-47 vote 1. Clayton, who previously served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, replaces Bill Pulte, whose initial nomination faced opposition due to his lack of intelligence experience 1.
During his confirmation hearing, Clayton addressed questions about the 2020 election, stating that President Biden had been "certified" as the winner and declaring "I am not an election denier" 1. However, Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, expressed "serious reservations" about whether Clayton would be "willing to resist political pressure" 1. Clayton's confirmation is expected to advance congressional negotiations over the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act 1.
