Pentagon Renames Auditorium Previously Honoring James Clapper

  • The auditorium at the Defense Intelligence Agency is now named after Thomas Knowlton instead of James Clapper.
  • Clapper, a former Director of National Intelligence, has been criticized by Trump for his involvement in the Russia investigation.
  • Pentagon officials claim Clapper's legacy is unfit for recognition due to allegations of politicizing intelligence.
  • The name change reflects ongoing partisan divisions regarding the handling of the Russia investigation.
