- United States
US President Donald Trump said Friday that Congressman John Ratcliffe, his nominee to be the next Director of National Intelligence, was withdrawing from consideration. Trump said Ratcliffe, a Republican lawmaker from Texas, was pulling his name out because he was "being treated very unfairly by the LameStream Media."
Trump said he would announce a new nominee shortly to replace Dan Coats as head of the 17 agencies that make up the US intelligence community.
