华盛顿讯—— 尽管特朗普总统在最后时刻推动推迟新国家情报总监的任命，打乱了国会山的计划，但参议院仍将于周三推进杰伊·克莱顿的提名听证会。
特朗普在Truth Social的清晨发帖中，破坏了参议院快速推进克莱顿提名的计划——后者本希望借此打破上周晚些时候到期的一项关键间谍授权僵局。总统称“我们取消今天的国家情报总监提名参议院听证会”，并表示在参议院批准他接替目前担任的纽约南区美国检察官职位的人选之前，听证会不会推进。
尽管总统提出了这一要求，但该委员会主席、阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿表示，参议院情报委员会仍将按计划举行确认听证会。听证会定于下午2点开始。
“杰伊·克莱顿是情报委员会待审核的提名人选。除非总统指示他不出席或撤回提名，否则我们将按原计划举行听证会，”科顿周三上午在X平台上写道。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩周三晚些时候向记者重申了这一立场，称科顿计划按程序推进确认听证会。
“从现在起，我们只能走一步看一步，”图恩说道，直到参议员们从白宫获得更多“明确信息”。
特朗普上周晚些时候宣布提名克莱顿。此前数周，总统提名住房官员比尔·普尔特担任代理国家情报总监的决定引发参议院动荡，参议院共和党领导人随即推动快速推进该项提名。
民主党人和部分共和党人对这一提名表示反对，原因是普尔特曾参与调查特朗普的政治对手，且缺乏国家安全领域经验。只要普尔特即将就任该职位，民主党就拒绝同意延长《外国情报监控法》第702条规定的关键间谍授权期限。
面对共和党领导人要求提名长期人选担任国家情报总监的压力，特朗普在关键间谍授权即将到期的数小时前宣布提名克莱顿。但这一宣布为时已晚，国会来不及采取行动。
周三上午，特朗普在长篇发帖中称，“共和党在推进伟大的杰伊·克莱顿的听证会时行动太快，以至于在民主党人投票批准《外国情报监控法》之前，普尔特就会被换掉”。他声称“共和党掉进了陷阱”。他还威胁称，除非附加一项民主党普遍反对的名为《拯救美国法案》的选举法案，否则不会批准这项关键间谍授权的延期。
这一举措让提名程序陷入停滞，几小时前还看似顺理成章的克莱顿确认之路被彻底打乱。
克莱顿是一位广受好评的律师，目前负责曼哈顿的美国检察官办公室——这是全美知名度最高、最具声望的司法辖区之一。该办公室以起诉白领犯罪和金融案件而闻名。克莱顿曾在沙利文·克伦威尔律师事务所任职多年，随后在特朗普政府第一任期内担任美国证券交易委员会主席。
参议院共和党人对这一提名表示欢迎。图恩告诉记者，克莱顿“以极其能干的管理者形象拥有极佳声誉”。科顿称克莱顿是“绝佳人选”，并承诺将快速推进其提名程序。
“在为纽约州人民服务的过程中，克莱顿先生在应对广泛的国家安全威胁方面拥有丰富经验，”科顿说道。
图尔西·加巴德今年5月宣布将辞去国家情报总监一职，原因是她的丈夫被诊断出癌症。她原本预计将留任至6月底，但特朗普上周表示，普尔特将于本周五接任该职位。
普尔特担任代理国家情报总监的可能性，以及民主党因此持续反对延长《外国情报监控法》第702条，促使参议院共和党人快速推进克莱顿的提名。图恩上周表示，参议院将“探索在快速确认克莱顿的过程中什么是可行的”，并计划在数天内安排他的听证会。
情报委员会原本最快将于周四就克莱顿的提名进行投票。但总统的突然介入让这一计划充满变数。

Senate moving forward with Clayton’s confirmation hearing despite Trump’s move to delay

Washington — The Senate is moving forward with Jay Clayton’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday, despite President Trump’s 11th-hour push to delay the installation of the new director of national intelligence, a move that scrambled Capitol Hill.
In an early morning post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump torpedoed the Senate’s plan to move ahead quickly with Clayton’s nomination with the hope of breaking a logjam on a key spy authority that expired late last week. The president said “we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today,” claiming it would not move forward until the Senate approves a replacement for his current role as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Despite the president’s demand, the Senate Intelligence Committee is set to proceed with the confirmation hearing, said GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the committee’s chairman. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
“Jay Clayton is a pending nominee before the Intelligence Committee. We will proceed with his hearing as scheduled unless the president directs him not to appear or withdraws his nomination,” Cotton wrote on X Wednesday morning.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune reiterated the message to reporters later Wednesday morning, saying Cotton plans to proceed with the confirmation hearing.
“From there on, we’ll just have to take it a day at a time,” Thune said, until senators get more “clarity” from the White House.
Mr. Trump announced Clayton as his pick late last week. Senate GOP leaders made a push to move ahead with the nomination quickly after the president’s selection of Bill Pulte, a housing official, as acting director roiled the chamber in recent weeks.
Democrats, and some Republicans, balked at the selection, given Pulte’s role in investigations into Mr. Trump’s political foes and his lack of national security experience. Democrats refused to agree to an extension of a key spy authority under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as long as Pulte was set to assume the role.
Facing pressure from GOP leaders to nominate a long-term pick for DNI, Mr. Trump announced Clayton just hours before the spy authority was set to expire. But the announcement came too late for Congress to act.
In his lengthy post Wednesday morning, Mr. Trump said that “the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.” He claimed “the Republicans fell into a trap.” And he also threatened not to approve a reauthorization of the key spy authority unless an elections bill known as the SAVE America Act, which Democrats widely oppose, is attached.
The move put the confirmation process in limbo, upending what appeared to be a glidepath to confirmation for Clayton hours earlier.
Clayton is a well-regarded attorney who currently oversees the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, 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.
Senate Republicans celebrated the nomination. Thune told reporters that Clayton has “a great reputation of being an incredibly competent manager.” Cotton called Clayton an “excellent choice,” while vowing to process his nomination quickly.
“In his service to the people of New York, Mr. Clayton has deep experience combatting a wide range of national security threats,” Cotton said.
Clayton’s nomination came after Tulsi Gabbard announced in May that she would resign as director of national intelligence, citing her husband’s cancer diagnosis. She was originally expected to remain in the role until the end of June, but Mr. Trump said last week that Pulte would take over this Friday.
The possibility of Pulte as acting DNI, and Democrats’ continued opposition to reauthorizing Section 702 in response, prompted Senate Republicans to move quickly to install Clayton in the role. Thune said last week that the chamber would “probe the limits” of what’s realistic in their efforts to quickly confirm Clayton, setting up his hearing within days.
The Intelligence Committee was expected to vote on Clayton’s nomination as soon as Thursday. But the president’s interjection calls that into question.
