This morning the Trump Administration is looking for a director of national intelligence. He was looking for ratcliffe. He reversed that with another tweet friday saying ratcliffe is with drawing. He broke the news before heading to his new jersey golf course this weekend. Nikole killion is traveling with the president this morning. Good morning. Good morning, michelle. President trump said he has a short list of a few people in the intelligence world this hes going to be working with while hes at bedminster this weekend now that his top pick is out. Im believe he was being treated very harshly and very unfairly. As he left the white house for the weekend, President Trump stood by texas congressman John Ratcliffe and blamed the media for his withdrawal as nominee for director of national intelligence. I asked him, do you want to go through this for two or three months, or would you want me to maybe do something else. In a series of tweets ratcliffe wrote i do not wish for a National Security and intelligence debate surrounding my confirmation, however untrue, to become a purely political and partisan issue. Two sources familiar with the situation tell cbs news the president had no sense ratcliffe was leaving and thought hed stick around. But when ratcliffe called the president , he told him he misread how difficult the confirmation fight would have been among republicans. He wasnt in that world that much. I think he would have picked it up very quickly. The chilly reception to ratcliffes nomination was shared on both sides of the aisle and focused on his lack of intelligence experience. It appears the president is more interested in getting a loyalist than someone who will speak the truth to power. I want to make sure we have a person independence, integrity, and intelligence in that vital spot. He only joined the Intelligence Committee six months ago. His official bio claims he put terrorists in prison as federal prosecutor in texas, but his name does not appear in Court Documents for any tichlrelated cases. The president pushed back against his vetting process. I put out a name and you vet for me. We save a lot of money that way. Dan coats is currently in his position and will leave that post in the middle of the month until his place is confirmand the white house hasnt said whether it will move the deputy chief intelligence director sue gordon into the acting role. The president says he likes gordon and she may be considered. Dana . A story line for the Trump Administration there. Thank you very much.
