法国埃维昂莱班—— 特朗普总统周三表示，他将推迟杰伊·克莱顿出任美国情报界负责人的提名，以此迫使国会就一项目前缺乏足够支持的选民身份证法案采取行动。
特朗普在其社交媒体平台发布的长帖中表示，他将留用美国高级住房官员比尔·普尔特担任代理国家情报总监。
两党议员都曾反对特朗普提名普尔特，理由是他显然缺乏情报领域的工作经验，这实质上迫使特朗普转而提名克莱顿。
克莱顿原定于周三出席参议院确认听证会，此次听证会因一项关键监控程序到期而被快速安排，该程序到期源于两党对特朗普提名普尔特的不满。美国参议院情报委员会原最快可于周四就克莱顿的提名进行投票。
民主党人士曾表示，在特朗普撤回普尔特的提名之前，他们不会延长已过期的监控程序。
在社交媒体帖子中，特朗普指责民主党在他提名克莱顿后破坏了延长该监控程序的协议。特朗普还表示，在其继任者杰米·麦克唐纳获得批准之前，他不希望让克莱顿离开美国检察官办公室。
他还补充了另一项条件：将他对监控程序的批准与一项要求民众在投票时出示身份证件的法案挂钩。
“因此，为了增添一丝波折，但为了国家和我国人民的利益，我不会批准《外国情报监控法》（FISA），除非《拯救美国法案》与之同时通过，”特朗普说道，他用FISA指代该监控程序，并用“拯救美国法案”指代其选民身份证法案。
由共和党掌控的国会尚未就该投票法案采取行动，因为该法案在参众两院都缺乏足够的支持票，尤其是来自民主党议员的支持。
克莱顿是一位广受好评的律师，目前担任美国南区纽约联邦检察官，该办公室是全美知名度最高、最具声望的司法辖区之一，以起诉白领犯罪和金融犯罪案件而闻名。克莱顿曾在沙利文-克伦威尔律师事务所任职多年，随后在特朗普首届政府期间担任美国证券交易委员会主席。
特朗普是在法国埃维昂莱班宣布这一决定的，当时他正在参加七大工业国集团峰会的最后一天活动。

Trump puts Jay Clayton’s nomination for intel chief on hold
June 17, 2026 5:23 AM EDT / CBS/AP
Évian-les-Bains, France — President Trump said on Wednesday that he’s delaying Jay Clayton’s nomination to lead the U.S. intelligence community in a bid to force Congress to act on a voter ID bill that currently lacks enough support for passage.
Mr. Trump said in a lengthy post on his social media site that he will keep Bill Pulte, a top U.S. housing official, as acting director of national intelligence.
Lawmakers in both parties had opposed Mr. Trump’s nomination of Pulte, citing his apparent lack of experience in the intelligence field, which essentially forced the president to turn to Clayton.
Clayton had been set to appear on Wednesday for a Senate confirmation hearing that was fast-tracked because of the lapse of a crucial surveillance program due to bipartisan anger over Mr. Trump’s pick of Pulte. The Intelligence Committee was expected to vote on Clayton’s nomination as soon as Thursday.
Democrats had said they wouldn’t renew the expired surveillance programs until Mr. Trump withdrew Pulte’s nomination.
In the social media post, Mr. Trump accused Democrats of breaking a deal to renew the program after he nominated Clayton. Mr. Trump also said he doesn’t want to take Clayton out of the U.S. attorney’s office before his replacement, Jamie McDonald, is approved.
And he added another condition: linking his approval of the surveillance program to the passage of a bill requiring people to show ID in order to vote.
“Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it,” Mr. Trump said, using the acronym for the surveillance program and his name for the voter ID bill.
The Republican-controlled Congress hasn’t acted on the voting bill because it does not have enough support to pass in either chamber, particularly from Democrats.
A well-regarded lawyer, Clayton currently serves as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, one of the highest-profile and most prestigious jurisdictions in the country. The office is known for its prosecution of white-collar cases and financial crimes. Clayton served as the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the first Trump administration following a lengthy career at the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell.
Mr. Trump made the announcement in Evian-les-Bains, France, where he was participating in the final day of the Group of Seven summit of leading industrial economies.
