Senate Intelligence Committee Reschedules Jay Clayton Confirmation Hearing

The Senate Intelligence Committee has rescheduled Jay Clayton's confirmation hearing for July 15 after the initial date was postponed by President Trump.
Trump's objections were linked to the timing of Clayton's nomination and the need to confirm his replacement as U.S. attorney in New York.
Democrats have indicated that their support for reauthorizing key surveillance provisions depends on Clayton's confirmation to replace acting director Bill Pulte.
