Senate confirms Clayton as intel chief after delays

The Senate has confirmed Jay Clayton as the director of national intelligence in a party-line vote. This position has faced increased scrutiny during Donald Trump's presidency. Jay Clayton has now been installed in the role after delays in the confirmation process. The vote was divided along party lines, indicating a lack of bipartisan support for the appointment. The role of director of national intelligence is significant, and Clayton's confirmation may have implications for the country's intelligence operations. The confirmation process had been delayed, but Clayton is now in place as the new director.
