The Senate Intelligence Committee has rescheduled a confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton’s nomination as director of national intelligence. The hearing is planned for July 15, following a month-long delay from the original date.

President Donald Trump initially postponed the June 17 hearing. Trump indicated that Clayton’s nomination should be delayed until James McDonald is confirmed to replace Clayton as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. McDonald’s nomination has not yet been sent to the Senate.

The White House has not commented on the new date or Trump’s stance. Previously, Trump expressed frustration with how quickly Senate Republicans arranged Clayton’s hearing. He canceled the hearing due to issues like the expiration of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and insufficient support for his backed voter ID bill, the SAVE America Act.

Several Democrats have backed Clayton, including Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia and Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut. Rep. Himes praised Clayton’s intelligence and dedication to public service.

Clayton was appointed U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York last year. Previously, Clayton chaired the Securities and Exchange Commission, confirmed by the Senate in a 61-37 vote. He was also a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell.

In early June, Trump appointed Bill Pulte as acting national intelligence director, following Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation to focus on her husband’s health. Pulte, with no national security background, has raised concerns among Democrats and Republicans due to his role in compiling information for political investigations as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Pulte began his role as acting national intelligence director on June 19. Democrats have voiced that renewing the expired FISA provision hinges on Clayton assuming the director role, replacing Pulte.
