Four Candidates Under Consideration for US Intelligence Head - Trump
16:06 GMT 21.02.2020 (Updated: 08:46 GMT 15.11.2022) On Wednesday, President Trump named Richard Grenell, the American ambassador to Germany, as the next acting director of national intelligence who will replace Joseph Maguire, a retired US Navy vice admiral.
US President Donald Trump has said that four candidates are being considered for the US Director of National Intelligence post. The president added that a final decision will be made in the next few weeks.
Earlier this week, Trump appointed US Ambassador Richard Grenell as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Grenell will replace Joseph Maguire, a retired US Navy admiral who was appointed last August.
The US envoy to Germany has substantial government experience but does not have an obvious background for a position in intelligence.
In August 2019, then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats stepped down from the position following several disagreements with Trump over assessments involving Russia, Iran and North Korea.
