NSA Director Adm. Rogers is likely pick for DNI Clapper replacement
 [Free Beacon] Donald Trump will likely appoint National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers as the administration’s director of national intelligence, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing two unnamed sources.Rogers met with Trump at Trump Tower in New York on Thursday. The potential appointment of Rogers, who has headed the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command since 2014, could complicate Trump’s desire for closer ties with Russia. The NSA director reiterated earlier this week that Moscow was responsible for hacking into the Democratic National Committee’s computer network in an attempt to influence the U.S. elections. Trump meanwhile has publicly cast doubt on U.S. intelligence officials who overwhelmingly concluded that Moscow had interfered with the election. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-11-19 |
