WestVirginiaRebel Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The Hill: The nation’s top intelligence official on Wednesday evening submitted his letter of resignation, ensuring that President-elect Donald Trump will have the option to build his own network of intel leaders. “I submitted my letter of resignation last night, which felt pretty good,” Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday morning. “I have 64 days left and I would have a hard time with my wife for anything past that.” Clapper has long promised to leave his job at the end of President Obama’s term in office, so his resignation was expected. Still, the formal resignation brings the longtime intelligence official’s government career to a close and leaves a key vacancy for Trump to fill. Trump has yet to announce several national security nominations and appointments, but there is widespread speculation about multiple candidates. ________ Clapper on, Clapper off.
