Rep. Jason Crow says he's worried 'Americans are at risk' with Bill Pulte as acting DNI
Washington — Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado said on Sunday he's worried that 'Americans are at risk' with Bill Pulte serving as the Trump administration's intelligence chief.
TL;DR
- Rep. Jason Crow believes Bill Pulte's lack of national security experience and perceived loyalty to President Trump put Americans at risk.
- Democrats have opposed extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, causing it to expire, due to concerns over Pulte's appointment and potential overreach.
- Crow is unwilling to trade constitutional rights and privacy for a temporary extension of the surveillance program.
- Sen. Lindsey Graham advocates for the confirmation of Jay Clayton as DNI to resolve the impasse and emphasizes the necessity of FISA reauthorization.
