Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton's confirmation hearing for the role of U.S. intelligence chief has been postponed after President Donald Trump called for a delay.
According to reports, Trump wants another key nominee to be confirmed first before Clayton's nomination moves forward in the Senate.
The decision adds a new twist to the confirmation process and comes amid ongoing debates in Washington over intelligence policy, surveillance powers, and leadership appointments.
For now, the acting intelligence chief is expected to remain in the role while the Senate considers the administration's next steps.
