Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump’s new pick to become the nation’s top intelligence official, has a long resume in business law, but little known experience in the spy world.
Trump announced June 11 that he will nominate Clayton, 59, for the position of director of national intelligence, which requires Senate confirmation.
