    The humble Senate blue slip becomes linchpin of Trump’s DNI crash out

    President Donald Trump canceled a Senate hearing for his nominee to lead the Office of Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Jay Clayton, due to a dispute over the Senate blue slip tradition. Trump aims to delay Clayton's confirmation until Jamie McDonald, his nominee for U.S. Attorney in New York, is approved, but Democratic senators from New York are blocking McDonald's confirmation using the blue slip.
