华盛顿6月11日电（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四表示，他将提名纽约南区联邦首席检察官杰伊·克莱顿出任下一任国家情报总监。此前，美国国会议员对特朗普临时提名该职位人选一事提出了反对。
特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中称：“全球法律界几乎无人能像杰伊这般受人敬重。我敦促美国参议院尽快确认杰伊的提名。”

克莱顿的官方简历显示，他曾担任美国证券交易委员会主席，作为检察官曾承办多起知名案件，其中包括起诉已被罢免的委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗的毒品恐怖主义罪名。
但简历同时显示，克莱顿并无情报工作背景或传统国家安全领域从业经验。
目前尚不清楚，他获提名出任美国最高情报职位常任人选，是否会终结民主党对特朗普提名亲信比尔·普尔特担任临时国家情报总监的反对，以及打破国会山关于更新将于周五到期的外国情报监视法案的僵局。
由共和党掌控的美国众议院周四否决了特朗普所支持的《外国情报监控法》第702条短期延期法案。
特朗普表示，联邦住房署负责人普尔特将于6月19日接任代理总监一职，接替将于6月30日正式辞职的图尔西·加巴德。

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is nominating Jay Clayton, the chief prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, to be the next director of national intelligence, following pushback from U.S. lawmakers over Trump’s pick to fill the role temporarily.
“Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Clayton’s official biography says that he is a former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chairman who as a prosecutor has handled prominent cases, including the indictment on narco-terrorism charges of deposed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
But it shows that Clayton has no intelligence background or traditional national security experience.
It was not immediately clear if his selection to the permanent post of top U.S. spy would end Democratic opposition to Trump’s choice of loyalist Bill Pulte to be the interim director of national security and break a Capitol Hill impasse over renewing a foreign surveillance program that expires on Friday.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday rejected a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that Trump has sought.
Trump said Pulte, the head of the federal housing agency, would take over as acting director on June 19 to replace Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned effective June 30.
