President Trump is expected to name Richard Grenell, the American ambassador to Germany, to be the acting director of national intelligence, the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Grenell, whose outspokenness throughout his career as a political operative and then as ambassador has prompted criticism, is a vocal Trump loyalist who will lead a group of national security agencies often viewed skeptically by the White House.”
Axios: “In Grenell, Trump would have an unwavering loyalist overseeing the 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. Grenell supported Trump during his 2016 campaign and has close ties to Trump’s inner circle and the political network surrounding the White House.”
