President Trump attempts to delay Jay Clayton's confirmation hearing for DNI to pressure Senate on unrelated nominees and legislation.

President Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he was canceling the June 17 Senate confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton, his nominee for Director of National Intelligence. Trump tied the nomination to the confirmation of Jamie McDonald as U.S. Attorney and demanded that FISA Section 702 reauthorization be linked to the Save America Act, a voting bill. Senate Intelligence Chairman Tom Cotton stated the committee would proceed with the hearing anyway.
