| Pres. Trump meeting with potential replacements for DNI Dan Coats |
| 2019-07-13 |
| [Washington Examiner] President Trump is reportedly thinking about pushing out Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and has held informal meetings with people who could replace him. Trump has been weighing replacing the 76-year-old Coats for months, according to Fox News. Possible replacements include former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford and Fred Fleitz, who served as national security adviser John Bolton’s chief of staff. Trump discussed the possibility with Fleitz in February but did not officially offer him the job. It isn’t clear how many other people are being considered or who they are. Trump was upset with Coats after he appeared critical of the president’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin during an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell last year. Last year? He'd have moved faster than this. The dude's 76. If you don't have a succession planned, you're failing |
