U.S. spy chief Coats to step down in coming days -NYT

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, who has clashed with U.S. President Donald Trump over-assessments involving Russia, Iran, and North Korea, is expected to step down in the coming days, the New York Times reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Trump is seriously considering tapping U.S. Representative John Ratcliffe, a fellow Republican, to replace Coats in the job, a source told Reuters.
