Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) questioned director of national intelligence (DNI) nominee Jay Clayton on Wednesday about whether he would be willing to deliver hard truths to President Trump after he declined to say Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
"You're going to be in a room with him many times, and at times you should have a difference of opinion, and if you can't disagree with him when he's not in the room, are you going to be able to disagree with him when you're sitting across from him in the Oval Office or the Situation Room?" the senator asked.
"I have every confidence that I will deliver on my job, candidly, independently and with my best judgement," Mr. Clayton responded.
"But just not in this room," Sen. Kelly retorted.
