‘Turning elections into a national security issue’: Trump DNI pick dodges questions on 2020 election

This Week Jay Clayton, Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence had a confirmation hearing this week, where he all but confirmed he would push Trump's election conspiracies just as much as the acting DNI, Bill Pulte. Like Pulte,  Clayton also has no national security experience. At his Senate hearing this week - like so many Trump nominees before him - Clayton ducked questions from Democrats about whether Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
