Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, is expected to step down in the coming days after spending his tenure at odds with President Trump over issues including Russia and Mr. Trump’s own attacks on the intelligence community, people familiar with the decision said on Sunday.
To replace him, the people said, the president was likely to tap Representative John Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican and staunch defender of Mr. Trump. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, he sharply questioned Robert S. Mueller III, the former special counsel, at last week’s hearing.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
MSG Stan Hutchison No It Actually looks like Trump picked someone but I don't see a Lot of "Intelligence" Background in the Individual He Picked. A Conservative Yes Man for Trump.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - True, as usual. But will he get Senate approval? Or will Trump just make him "acting" and bypass Congress, which he loves doing?
