DNI

The Senate is at an impasse over the president's controversial pick to serve as acting intelligence chief, resulting in the expiration of a key spy authority. Sen. Mark Warner hopes the Senate can confirm the pick 'this week'.

Sen. Adam Schiff criticized Tulsi Gabbard's resignation as the 'only positive contribution' to US security, calling it her sole positive act in the role. Gabbard resigned as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and Schiff expressed sympathy for her circumstances but emphasized his criticism.
