Jay Clayton’s Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday was marked by a sense of urgency, with senators from both parties racing to install a permanent spy chief — and get the acting director out. Clayton, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, had his confirmation hearing canceled once before at President Trump’s request, allowing him to install Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to be trusted with US secrets in the interim. Senators from both parties made clear they’d prefer Clayton over Pulte.
