Trump intelligence pick Jay Clayton refuses to say Biden won 2020 election

Clayton, if confirmed, would replace Bill Pulte, and is facing senators for confirmation as the US's top spy

Jay Clayton, the US attorney for the southern district of New York, refused to say that Joe Biden won the 2020 election during his Wednesday confirmation hearing to become the nation's next intelligence chief.

Clayton opted instead to say that Biden was certified" as president. Clayton also skirted questions about his previous election integrity claims and whether or not a White House official asked him to subpoena a group of New York Times journalists as part of an alleged national security investigation.
